For a few years, it became a shadow of it's former self but still provided pleasure in it's skeletal form and rotting wood for invertebrates. This autumn we had to pull it down as it was finally dropping it's arms to the ground. Now the space looks a bit bare but will soon fill up.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15108417673119719006noreply@blogger.com
