Along awaited essential piece of construction has taken place in Corn Buck this week. Materials being at a minimum, T, as ever, rose valiantly to the occasion. Not enough old galvanise for the door? No problem.... weave your own.
Oh see... now I love it all the more...ones 'rest room' ought to be a thing of beauty and T has accomplished this with a distinction worthy of Architectural Digest.
And then there is me simply being ever so sappy/happy about woven grasses... still green and glorious as they can be. :-)
The purpose of the Corn Buck Blog is to record the work, the stories and the times spent in this garden, where three generations of the same family have worked together. T has worked here all his life. It is also where I fell in love with him. It is a special place.

Well woven. Reminds me of toilets in Fiji, perfectly adequate, but rustic.
