A few years ago someone began adding things to what used to be a field full of sheep. First came a 'sculpture' thing, apparently made of the steel girders, people claimed, that had supported an old wooden covered bridge. Next came a little pond, followed by a wooden walkway which went partly around it, beginning and ending at random spots. Now and then some trees and shrubs get added. Suddenly, last year, a big excavator machine was in the field and I thought the farmer was back and returning everything back the way it was, but no. A berm was added, maybe to hide the pond from the road. I was hoping for a nude beach, but so far nothing.
A few days ago, this chair was added. Big and white and strange it is. I don't know. A conversation piece at any rate. I'm thinking of doing a circumnavigation 'Round the Pond' once the leaves turn and I'll write up the trip on my blog. I might even spend the night camped in the chair. You just never know what I might learn...

pardon me for being daft, but how big, is the big chair? I mean, it sort of looks big, but everything is too far away for me to get the scale. Is it like a 10 foot high chair? Could you slide your sleeping bag under it? :)
You're right, it's not easy to tell how big it is from the picture. I haven't gone up to it to measure, but my guess is the back is around 7 feet tall or so. You could easily camp beneath it or curled up in the seat.
well it sounds a bit strange, is it near somebodys house? or is it in somebodys view? are giants coming to live near you?
Claire - it's out in a field by itself. There are no houses in view of it. Fun, eh? First wee folk, now giants! What's coming next? ;-)
