Bullrushes - Worth the Weight

A much talked about garden sculpture has now come to fruition after a long wait for the right scrap materials to come to hand. Using sash weights salvaged from the original windows, Rod has done an absolutely magnificent job of creating these two clumps of rushes. Full credit to Rod for changing from thick reo rod to the rusty weights when reinforcing rod was not available for the right price. Bravo too for his welding and creative skills. Jointly we devised the overall concept but single handedly he created. They are even easily removable for mowing.

The bullrush theme was inspired by the Corten steel wall hanging featured above the table setting.

Crazy Paving Not So Crazy

Another joint project with Rod. We were given this slate many years ago and had quite forgotten how much we even had.

A trench filled with stones will deal with the dampness that is known in this particular area.

Slate on the right hand side buts up to what will eventually be a small set of steps.

The master at work. 

Substantial and wide enough to be driven over by our tractor. The slate ramp compliments the slate topped step under the Pierre de Ronsard arch on the other side of Ros's garden.
