Sports at The Arrow
However, not all animals went straight to the arena. The second and more popular method was the use of the net, since this could be deployed for the capture of animals in bulk. During the imperial age, the main supply of animals for the arena appears to have been from the Near East and Egypt. However, this was merely part of life in a society where animals were regularly slaughtered in public. To the modern world, such wholesale slaughter of animals seems both cruel and unacceptable.

Fortunately with our woods between us and the coast, the house and garden have been protected from the worst of the easterlies and the snow didn’t drift too much (not that drifts stopped Lola when we were out on walks – seeing them more as hurdles to be leaped). The plants are pretty standard garden fare – Rudbeckia, Thalictrum, Artichoke, Hemerocalis, Agapanthus, Rosemary, various Euphorbia, Eryngium, Lilies – but hopefully over time I will add some more unusual plants. Wherever possible I have also grown from seed (with limited success I have to be honest) or transplanted self-sown seedlings from other parts of the garden. First the grass had to be lifted (manually of course – absolutely no point rotavating it all into the ground only for it to reappear in a few weeks), barrow and distribute about twelve bulk bags of gravel and of course plant the plants. Of course it was much more time-consuming than I expected, taking the best part of four or five months and it’s not quite finished even now. This summer I finally embarked on the main project – to create a larger gravel garden that would also house a BBQ, fire pit and eating area away from the house (partly to provide a new space but also to ensure that any flames are as far away from the house as possible – especially after some guests decided to use a throw away BBQ on the room five deck and forrest arrow demo play set it alight).

Today, children also learnt how to use secateurs and loppers to cut larger pieces of wood before turning these into bows and arrows using whittling knives. Apparently it is the type that is used in Japanese Temple gardens – perhaps the only authentic part of the whole thing! I then tried to start a rose garden but it didn’t work – too dry and too much shade.

Glitter Bomb – Courtesy of ~ Teresa Johnson @ Archery360This is a popular activity at novelty shoots, and it’s no wonder why. Fruit Game – Courtesy of ~ Teresa Johnson @ Archery360There’s nothing like the satisfaction of splitting an apple – or thumping a pumpkin, or just about any kind of fruit – with an arrow! Then it’s a straight head-to-head nearest to the printed number 5 on the target. Keep going until there are only two archers left with arrows. At the end, any archer who gets the wrong colour has that arrow removed and placed under the target.
At the garden’s centre would be a raked, gravel ‘sea’ with a mossy mountainous island rising from it…. As it turned out we had more time on our hands in 2020 then we expected and that meant that we could create the next part – our take on a Zen garden. It’s almost a year since we dug the pond – the first stage of a Japanese-inspired garden.
