So here is the Lathe Palace. We started painting the weatherproof three weeks ago, but haven't quite finished it yet. As you see, on the left, Bob's workshop, on the right, the "Carriage House" [my little Toyota parked inside]. The Workshop is accessed from the back garden, it is very secure, and we also have a camera at the side, so we can keep an eye on visitors.
But I did feel that the right hand part looked awfully like a stable - so those bits and pieces I mentioned yesterday have been repurposed. Bob has added lighting [on a timer] and my Christmas Tableau is in place. At least one neighbour has already said how much she likes it.
[in case you are wondering, the Toyota is stuck behind the curtain, and the Skoda will be parked outside for the next 3 weeks!]
That is a great stable scene - hope you don't need your car though!🎄🎄
ReplyDeleteFortunately between us we have two cars... And two bicycles, two bus passes and four feet!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous stable scene! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBut where did you get the heads from?????
ReplyDeleteThey are 'wig stands' painted with acrylic paint. From a helpful company in Ilford called Mr Polystyrene. £4 each
DeleteThat looks great!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteWhat a lovely idea.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to remind people that Jesus is the reason for the season
DeleteFabulous! It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing, I bet you will have lots of folk driving past to take photos.
ReplyDeleteWe live in a quiet close, so not many people go past.
DeleteMarvelous.
ReplyDeleteThere is clearly an additional wise man (Bob) and a wise woman (you) behind this scene. :)
Lovely! Well Done! Now you have me thinking .. although I am thinking the leftover wood in our shed .. and I will need my Robbie's help.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a team effort to make this
DeleteI never use paper or cards with Santa - not what Christmas is about. I'll never forget going to Christmas Eve service at the cathedral and the Dean's sermon was that Santa is a bad man!... Season's Greetings
ReplyDeleteAs Liz pointed out to a Sunday School teacher once, Santa is an anagram of satan!
DeleteLove, love, love! What a beautiful reminder to folk passing by of the true reason for Christmas, the whole scene just shouts Joy!
ReplyDeleteSo many positive comments (and even "will you add more characters next year?")
