Garden ornament?

I kid you not - a de-commissioned, 1985 fire appliance parked in someone’s front garden. Spotted on my new walk today.

This would have me scratching my head wondering why would someone have such a thing in their garden.

Well spotted. It must be an efficient way to water the vegetable garden in the summer 😉

[Clive Handscombe]

Perhaps they have lots of BBQs!

how odd!

I was watching a programme in the week and one similar to this had been converted into a bar to be used at festivals.

Curious!

Ooh that’s a big garden gnome... @wakelys George Clark’s Small Spaces....I sent photos of that to my volunteer fire service grandson in NZ...it was really cool.

[Anne]

That’s amazing!! Great, fun shot

[Susan Wakely]

@happypat ah yes. Thank you.

[Carole Sandford]

Doesn’t everyone have one of these??

[Frances Claydon]

Why not, somebody not far from me used to have an armoured car in his front garden!

[Cazzi]

I wonder if it will be used for kids parties or as a bar for adult functions - or maybe they just collect fire engines lol!

[Annie-Sue]

Possibly takes it to vintage days - but a good encouragement to seek out new routes :-)

[Babs]

This would be a conversation piece wouldn't it. David once wanted to buy a disused railway carriage to put in the garden and use it as a garden shed, but the logistics of getting it here proved too difficult. ha ha.

Really? What are they going to do with it? A camper van?!
