0:06:17 > 0:06:23- It's unlikely that we'll have a - clear sky for the Winter Solstice...
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- ..but few people - build their own observatory...

0:06:32 > 0:06:34- It's a real masterpiece.
0:06:35 > 0:06:43- I built it with young volunteers - who helped me over the year.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52- ..planting, harvesting - and the universe.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- There's no better way to do that - than with a framework of oak...
0:06:58 > 0:07:04- ..that features carvings of the - planets and signs of the Zodiac...
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- ..and the plants - that we grow on the farm.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35- A young lady from France - called Alyona Tolstikova...
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- ..is responsible for the artwork - and set it in place.

0:07:45 > 0:07:50- It's fair to say that you never stay - in one place for long.
