Heron comes to admire work
8th May 2012
If i am honest it took me a good two days to get over the Highland Bike ride. 20 years ago i would have been out working the same evening.and probably boiled the kettle half a dozen times before i got my cuppa.It was a fab trip though and well worth the effort.
The week went well with the Coniston plot now with half the bridge complete.Both abutments are in place and back filled with the concrete left to harden off ready for the steel UBs and concrete deck.
The end of the week saw us having a good tidy round ready for excavations of the New house late next week.
Mill Gate saw landscaping reach a point where the fruits of our labour could be seen quite clearly.
Recycled green stone edgings where put in place with dressed edgings defining a neat curved path area from the newly seeded lawn.
Large stones found in our excavations where add to the borders to give the planted areas definition
and harmonise with the greenery .
The great thing about Mill gate is the fact i can be as creative as i like as pretty much everything is an open canvas.
Creativity is paramount to our work. features and little things out of the ordinary can unconsciously
add a quality to your life, its a little like looking at a nice view on a sunny day, features can raise a smile even on a wet miserable day on your way out to work for another stressful day ,or on your return home.
Our sculpture at the entrance to Mill Gate was added this week in a flash of inspiration.
We are currently working with a local blacksmith incorporating Ancient tree roots , wrought iron work and stone to create unique sculptures ( showing at Holker hall garden festival on 8th -10th of June)
We can be comissioned to create your unique sculpture from our extensive stock of raw material just ether drop us a line or phone for a viewing and friendly chat ( you never know you may even get a fresh cup of coffee and some home baking). or pick up a bag of our home grown Snowie lump wood Charcoal.
We will bring you more next week on the ever changing landscape of Mill Gate ,progress at the Coniston plot and much more.
Have a great week and stay safe.
