Dad couldn't remember if this was originally a peat barrow or a timber barrow from a saw mill, in fact he didn't remember much about the barrow at all. But, we took it down from his garden and placed it in ours. It makes the perfect stand for some of our pots of flowers.
It’s transplanted beautifully & your dad will be pleased you have kept it. Hope he’s reasonably happy in his new place. Never be home but he will be cared for very well.
