staddle stone

Today, the people in our village who opened their gardens and allotments to the public last month took a tour of each others' gardens. This was followed up by a barbecue at our house. There was a good turnout with almost 30 people taking part. The sun even made a bit of an appearance which was a bonus.

This photo was taken in one of the gardens. Staddle stones used to be used to support grain stores with one on each corner allowing the air to circulate underneath. Nowadays they are collectors items and are only used for decorative purposes.
I do like those straddle stones! ...and the stone wall in the background! There must have been a lot of work gone in for this open day!

Lovely textures here with the moss and stone. Have always wondered what these stone mushrooms are!
