    Decided to post a few photos of the build .

    Flowers for the shop to the right of the cafe/ bar.

    Using some plastic end stops from tubes for Mason Bees in a wall mounted tube to represent those metal flower containers shops used to have.

    Using some dried moss along with Sea Grass stems and some new flower heads form the garden, pre soaked in Glycerine and painted.

    Still work to do on the shop front.


    Also primed the balcony rails for the three rooms above the cafe/bar 1st floor . Took some time as had to drill through the curved top rail and the base to get a good glue line.

            Kind of you to say Jim, decided that an empty shop window would like the cafe look odd. These things just grow .

                              The progress is very impressive, it's the little details that take the time, but also they're what gives them the detail.

                                John,

                                Just had a catch-up and I think the others have summed it up perfectly.

                                Keep up the great work.

                                Andrew
