The Shire's first Airbnb

The Airbnb has a cut off door

so Gandalf, beware!

This frontage makes for difficulties with windows near the front door.

Silly not to make use of the area above the door.

I now have the gravel coming right up to the door.

It's all shaping up.

I've used one of FutureForgeonline porch lamps.

It's been left burning all night.

The forsythia really helps.

I scraped back the gravel and used Greenstuff to lay a small step.

Last thing to doo is to cap the RHS chimney.

 

Longbottom Leaf?

 

That's this one finished for the time being.

The beds are for the growing of tobacco plants but

despite several tries, I've not come up with 

anything resembling the real thing.

The metal stove pipe on the roof of the 'shed'

is not the final version.

Too large and the rust is not very good.

FutureForgeonline do a very good one 

but that awaits a larger order.

The shed is where he dries the tobacco leaves.

Raised beds etc

Top soil has arrived

though the little hillock at the rear is still bare.

It was awaiting a rather nice twisted root.

You can see it at the back of the main hill.

I regret not putting it in a better position.

Fences and raised beds constructed.

The fence in the foreground above is too sturdy.

I used slices of wooden bread baskets for the improved versions.

Fences are up and raised beds glued down.
