An Exciting Day!

Happy anniversary Spritz!

Nice piece of sculpture for the garden, Spritz, and you know that it has got a story behind it.

Fantastic piece of sculpture and a great anniversary present! Happy Anniversary!

Good choice spritz - looks like it's always been there

Wonderful sculpture... hint, hint dear :-)

What a wonderful present!
It is stunning.

Lovely to have this special garden feature to celebrate your anniversary. :o)

Thanks, all - I'm so glad you like it!

really stunning spritz. I find this natural sculpture so in keeping with a fernery. what a love piece. i am turning green! from some angles it looks like a host of dragon heads good luck omens too.

It sometimes feels as if something picks you instead of the other way round - this seems to be what happened to you, Spritz, and it's absolutely perfect where you've placed it.

Congratulations, your new sculpture is very evocative on it's plinth, it is a great place you have chosen to put it.

I am green with envy - I hope you have a lot of pleasure from it.

Congratulations Spritz on your Anniversary and your stunning new sculpture it looks absolutely perfect in it,s new home .....................

I agree with you all, Its Stunning Spritz and looks perfect in its Setting, it takes more than plants to make a garden..as i said, Stunning.... Dee...

Happy Anniversary! That looks fabulous, almost like a dragon. I'm sure you'll find it hard to stop going to keep looking at it, I know I would!

Sbg thought it looked like dragons, too - I shall take a fresh look at it tomorrow! (I shall be out there seeing how many new ferns are needed to plant round it, too!)

Its certainly a fabulous piece,I,ve turned lap top sideways and upside down Spritz and it tells many a tale,I love it and yes it was destined for your fernery,hope you have many more anniversaries to admire and enjoy it.........

Lovely Spritz! There's something special about driftwood isn't there? I know it's just wood that's ... drifted (Duh!!) but in its transition it seems to take on something else - as though it has a deliberate intention to morph into something recognisably animal. We visited my partner's family in South Wales recently and had a short trip to a beach where driftwood lands. Some of it was amazing, but couldn't be brought back here in cabin baggage! I'm always checking out nooks and crannies on beaches here for driftwood, but haven't found any yet. I'll keep looking! Enjoy your lovely sculpture for many, many years to come.

It's wonderful and I'm sure all your visitors will like it. I think you have it in the best place too with ferns around it.

Stunning - if only we found pieces like this on our beaches!

No such luck if ever tin cans and bits of discarded net catch on ..yes can see the dragons head in your first pic.How about Spritzs Griffin Grotto ? Got a certain ring to it dont you think ?

Hubby excelled himself there , promised Jane that if we still together and breathing in 43 years time I ll get her one ! Many congratulations on your anniversary .xxx

Its looke great... looks like a monsters head.....

What a brill pressy.

It looks fantastic Spritz. What a lovely piece. I agree that it looks like dragon heads. You have it in the perfect place in your fernery. :o)

Absolutely love it Spritz! it really is stunning, what a wonderful pressy!

OH my ghos what a gift how very special I am so exicted for you that was so kind to share with all of us enjoy it, you have worked hard to have this gift after all these years of hard work swet and love...That is what it takes God bless you.

Thank you, Lujean - yes, I do feel blessed with a happy and long marriage! Our home and garden are very precious to us now we are both retired, and I have tried to create a beautiful garden to enjoy. :-) It was a very special gift from my husband.

Hello, I'm new to gardening and have only really been able to put much effort into it since I was made redundant. Your garden is lovely. I thought your sculpture was beautiful and looked lovely where you had placed it. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary. I like the picture of your dog too - he looks like a fine fellow. My cat, a beautiful tortoiseshell, is never happier than in the sun in the garden.

Thanks, Newkid! You are very kind. :-) I'm glad you like my garden - and my beautiful pressy!

Henry is a wonderful dog - very good company and very loving.

We also think that your sculpture is just great, Spritz. James said that it reminds him of the dinosaur skeleton we saw in a museum last week, and also that your ferns look like Jurassic Park. Now, with some comments above mentioning dragons, I think he has "hit the nail on the head". Beautiful sculpture and setting. :-).

I reckon the seller must have loved that piece, to drive it to your place himself. It must have been nice for him to see where it would rest, having found it in the first place. And also that you "robbed" his prize for the show, lol! It looks like it was made to go in your space tho', no worries there!

I'm glad you like it, cos I do! :-)
He is a nice man. He thught it would be safer in his van than on a pallet, and of course he is used to moving his sculptures around.
