I LIKE THIS NICE DISPLAY TO WELCOME VISITORS TO OUR HOME THE CONCRETE MUSHROOMS MY DAUGHTER AND I MAKE TOGETHER USING FLOWER POTS AND BOWLS FOR MOULDS KAREN SOMETIMES PAINTS THEM RED WITH WHITE SPOTS ON THEM AND SELLS THEM AT CRAFT FAIRS ALONG WITH HER HAND MADE CARDS AND JEWELLERY.

Very inviting entrance, Mike. Tell your daughter I like the ‘shrooms!

OH THERE YOU ARE BOB YES YOU WERE RIGHT I HAD WIPED IT BY MISTAKE ITS BECAUSE I HAVE A RIGHT HAND MOUSE AND I CAN ONLY USE MY LEFT HAND AT THE MOMENT (WELL THATS MY EXCUSE}

Thanks Mike!
The mushrooms are lovely!
Do you use pre-mixed concrete or do you do your own mix of sand and Portland?

Hope you get the “hang” of using the other hand: not always easy!
As well, that the pain is easing a bit!

Mike, there appears to be no method to resize your image like available in Picassa and Webshots.
It could be there only when you are the album owner. It should say something Like choose 144pix 480 pix or 800 px.

This one is brought in at 144px
This one is brought in at 288px

This one is brought in at 400px

This one is brought in at 800px

How lovely is your entrance!!!! So very inviting indeed!!! I too love the mushrooms and to be honest everything you have done here. Very attractive!!! And nice to see a bit of where you live over there in England.

HI XO I WALKED TO GREAT HASELY TONIGHT AS I AM TAKING SOME STRONG MEDICATION, IT TOOK ME ABOUT 40 MINUTES AND APART FROM GETTING TOO HOT I LOVED IT SAW RABBITS EVERY WHERE AND WATCHED THE FARMERS ALL FRANTICALLY PICKING UP THE HAY BALES AS IT IS GOING TO RAIN TOMORROW.
THE BIG THING ON THE TOP RIGHT OF THE PICTURE IS LEAD DRESSING, WHEN I MOVED IN I TOLD MY NEIGHBOUR THAT I WAS GOING TO PULL DOWN MY PRE FORMED CONCRETE GARAGE AND THIS CAUSED HIM SOME CONCERN AS THE DIVIDING WALL WAS SHARED BY BOTH OF US SO I TOOK IT DOWN CAREFULLY AND WAITED WHILE HE TOOK OUT ALL THE PANELS AND TURNED THEM ROUND TO EXPOSE THE WEATHERED FACE AND HE DRESSED THE ENDS IN LEAD.
THE LIGHT WOOD BUILDING IS MY WORKSHOP AND UTILITY ROOM AND NOW HAS A TOILET AS WELL I LEFT A GAP BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS .
