Ten ton Thumbelina & Hefty Hetty have had new homes built for them! This week, we had the pleasure of Chris Genever's company and he has built each statue a small brick pier on the diagonal. With his usual attention to detail and in order to compensate for the sloping ground, he has built one slightly lower than the other. To complete the classy look each has slightly overhanging blue bricks. Owing to their obese weight, we have to wait a week before we ask Chris to install these heavyweights!
As if that wasn't enough and in FREEEEEZING weather conditions, he also placed mortar in all the joints along the brick path. Before we had gravel and despite our best efforts, it always stuck to muddy boots and was lost when the path was swept. The arbour seat is also looking very smart as 'one' has been out wielding the paintbrush. Hopefully next week, all we back in place.
