Going all Arty

We wanted a 'feature' in the courtyard and Sue remembered seeing something in one of the showhouse gardens we used to clean in England. So, to the amazement of our neighbours, we set up our 'art installation'.

The positioning of the beams was critical! The artist spent ages looking at them from different angles to make sure that they weren't in a circle or one hid another. Then the heights had to be adjusted.

This meant getting the chainsaw out, although I don't think this is what is meant by 'chainsaw art'!

The artist was finally satisfied and the beams have all been cemented in. We now have to buy a floodlight to place in the middle of them so that they are illuminated at night.

At this rate we'll have more floodlights than the Mairie!

PS we went up to our new supply of manure this afternoon. And, en route, we saw the 'manure man'. On our second trip (and second trailer load of manure), we took him a bottle of wine. It worked wonders! No problems in going to get more manure whenever we want. It's great living in the country!
