Brother Julian, assisted by our friend Taras
Sadly this is not my garden! This is the new Anglo-Saxon garden at Butser Ancient Farm, outside their super new longhall, showing Abbess Cyneswithe on tour.

A new use for an old cement mixer…the dismantled drum somewhat resembles a font or giant chalice, but will probably be repurposed as an industrial-chic barbecue
