Elevated Octavius! |
Haven't had him five minutes and already Octavius gets a new stand. A present from Chris Genever; it was a former lamp post base. Now he stands at the perfect height and what can't be seen is a common (or garden!) concrete slab laid on sand and cement cunningly concealed beneath it. I bet Chris wouldn't have imagined it would pressed into use as soon as he left! Sadly, I can't claim the credit for such brilliance as it was the other Chris's idea! The column just wasn't tall enough. Note the ivy planted at the base. How lucky that the stone is so similar in colour! The base is of far superior quality to the actual statue!
