For a final romantic touch, Mr. Howes commented “We plant daffodils in the middle that come up in the spring – it looks great. I go out there from time to time and sit in the seat I created.”
In 2012 Mr. Howes said, “I also flew over it myself about five years ago,” allowing him a private viewing of his creation before it became famous. In the words of Andy Collett, “you can just imagine the love story” behind creating such a beautiful tribute to a spouse.
