MONTES - A CHILEAN CATHEDRAL FOR HUNDREDS OF OAK BARRELS

Yes, they certainly take their wine seriously. An immersive experience that feels more like visiting a sacred building than a vineyard, with angels adorning every wine label.  A winemaking temple dedicated to excellence and a respectful celebration of the fruits of the vine. Reduced to a whisper, you wander in awe along the aisles of oak barrels, marvelling at their vision.

THE DELIGHTS OF OAK BARRELS IN THE SHROPSHIRE HILLS

Tempted by the stunning walking, healthy cycling and amazing views of the Shropshire hills? Forget it! All you need is a visit to The Bridges inn, where you will find this great collection of oak barrel tables & planters. You'll appreciate the satisfaction of placing your food and drinks on them as you laze the summer days away. Even in winter the pub is warm and welcoming with a log burner making it a snug and comfy place to hang out whilst watching the rain battering down, or the snow slowly settling on top of the barrels. How can you resist?

TRACY'S BEAUTIFUL GARDEN CREATED WITH NEW RAILWAY SLEEPERS

Thanks to Tracy for the excellent photos of her recently created walls and raised beds that she's imaginatively built with new railway sleepers. Such a beautiful garden that flows from level to level with gorgeous planting and luscious backdrops. A wonderful place to sit, be inspired and marvel at the spectacular globes of the gigantic purple Alium.

15 September 2022 / Posted in: Railway Sleeper News

All credit to Worthington Landscape Design. Another brilliant project creating a superb garden with a multitude of enjoyable areas that will be a real delight to both frogs and gardeners alike! I like the imaginative way in which the new oak railway sleepers sit on top of a layer of attractive reclaimed bricks to form beautiful raised planters. A very original way of presenting raised beds. All in all, a fabulous garden.

An epic Scottish chronicle of an immense railway sleeper table

An epic Scottish chronicle of an immense railway sleeper table

Brilliant photos. There are many unbelievable factors to this stunning table. Firstly, how did Martyn finally move it into position?! The overall weight of one to two tons is jawdropping, and it must be virtually impossible to shift without a team of olympic weightlifters! Many people struggle to lift ONE tropical hardwood railway sleeper, let alone nine! Secondly, the cutting into a circle of such tough tight grained timber is not to be undertaken by the faint hearted. Not to mention the sanding and oiling. No wonder one of his pictures shows his son flat out on the railway sleepers. Either exhausted or a child sacrifice! All in all a massive and impressive undertaking that will comfortably sit 8 people for eternity. Indeed in 500 years, they'll probably construct a futuristic house around it, as they scratch their heads and marvel at the skills (or lunacy) of the early 21st century, whilst singing ballads about the 'Muckle Teeble of Dumfries'!
