I missed the early stages of construction, because it's under the balcony and you have to lean over to see it. But it must have been quite a sight, with the Coots dragging large waterlogged branches heavier than themselves to make its foundations.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-204306252703639962018-08-01T22:18:15.052+01:002018-08-01T22:18:15.052+01:00Poor Magpie.

I am sure some famed contemporary architects that shall remain nameless would be incapable of improving on it.TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.com
