Well its taken two years but its finally done….
it started as a row of abandoned van seats.
then cover in an old tunnel net
my trusty cement mixer at the ready
let the mud/cement pies begin…..
leave to set for one year…
finely get everyone to help sort out the next bit and it somehow grew a head…
leave to set for another year…..
and then let Julian take over…
Lilly testing it out.
i just love this new head…
and while he was there he turned our bonfire site into…
our new bbq…we havent tested it out yet as it is on our camp site and we have campers in tonight…but we will get to use it soon…
i have to say a big thanks to nosey potter who encouraged this venture two years ago..
what do you think?

Hi Sandra,
If you have some patience and a lot of old broken tiles you could go completely Gaudi with your bench!
Take a look here...
