I finerley did get round to finishing this project!! Well almost need to lay the Minton floor from an old Victorian house but pleased with the over all look cheq out Ziggy's fire place ;-) also Marys house next to living room all other photos where on my stolen phone I also decided to build a seat in the back of the folly with some left over stone bricks and slabs works quite nice I think
What's your thoughts??
Good or bad No offence taken a few have said too much brick work

 

I think once you have a few plants climbing up it, it will blend in a lot better and break up the brickwork a lot.

That is of course if you want to grow plants up it?

 

My thoughts? It's great to see you back!!!!

 

I think... I want one!

 

I like it, but I really, really love the ruin!

 

just LOVED looking through this thread!! you are so talented everything looks great
