2010, Fresh Pineapples

Fresh Pineapples

Well, perhaps refreshed would be a better way to describe these ones. We discovered one of them as we were removing the dense growth of ivy from the walls in the early days. It was situated on top of one of the brick columns supporting the main garden gates. Expecting to find it’s counterpart, we eagerly set about clearing the other side. Sadly it was not there. However, it was uncovered some time later amongst a pile of stonework near the Mansion. With much more pressing issues on our minds at that time, we decided to reinstate it after we had completed the restoration to the walls; as a milestone on our quest.
