"The Wall" continued

So this the wall, or rather most of the wall ! I have managed to chop off a bit of the left side ! One of the cameras is in that corner. What you can see on that side is an aluminium square pan lid, if you look to the right you will see the pan ! These were made after the WW2 and supposed to be made from the pranged Spitfires ! (aluminium pans were handed in to make spitfires nas part of the war effort) There are several quarry tiles from a little cottage nearby. (Quarry tiles were laid on an earth floor in the kitchen area in old houses.) Theres an old ships compass, Dad used to have a boat that was moored in a creek and was in the navy. That's got me started....I'm off for a rest, Walls are easy, computers are not !

"The Wall" again..

My "bus shelter" is full of things embedded in the second skin of the back wall. the sides are traditional double skin, the roof is polycarbonate to let the light in. On a night, the moonlight is wonderfull and sitting the rain is great fun ! I can dye fabric, make felt and play with messy things, to my hearts content. It was smothered in a clematis but a short sudden downpour with a massive drop in temperature killed it off last year. It was most bizzare, the leaves went limp and turned black overnight. The bench is supported on the porch supports from next door, I rescued them from the skip. So pleased with them. Hopefully you will be able to bring the next photo up full screen and pick out various items embedded in it. Each thing has a reason to be included, there two cameras, the Box Brownie shutter still clicks, a bakerlite telephone, a pink glass candle stick that was a part of a dressing table set owned by my daughter. The handle off my late mums wardrobe, window stays off the old leaded lights that were either side of the front door. Old ink bottles, a shoe last that belonged to my uncle who was a cobbler. See if you can see them.

"The Wall"

The brick that started it all ! The one in the middle of the picture has blown in the firing process so we have a convoluted brick shape with a big blob on the top. the sand in the bit on the top has fused to glass like glaze. The garden sub soil was full of them and I had saved them over the years because I found them interesting. I researched the old maps and found that across the road from me was a brick works. I had accumilated various bits of sand stone, quarry tiles, odd bricks and roof tiles.... etc I wanted somewhere to sit and work outside and the idea of a three sided shelter (nick named my bus shelter) formed. I cannot walk far now, no more rambling through the countryside for me , but out in this I can enjoy all weathers, the wind in my hair, the bird song etc.
