I mentioned the Rose Tower recently, and several people have asked me what it was, and how I made it.
It started when a tree fell over.
It was a very, very old tree....
Many years previously, this had been a real, live tree, growing in a garden, quite happy and content, giving shade to the garden and occasionally producing fruit - I think it was a plum tree, but I'm not totally sure, as this was long before my time.
Over the years, the “leaning out sideways” part got lower and lower, to the point where it was getting difficult for them to mow underneath it, and one sad day, last June, the whole thing fell over.
Oops!
That's the problem with dead trees - they are, by definition, dead, and at some point in their career, they will fall over.
Luckily, it didn't snap off the rose, in fact I think the rose stems prevented it from actually crashing to the ground.
But clearly, something had to be done.......
