It's gorgeous and such an interesting concept.

Theirs is made of round paper tubes. You can see a picture of it on their website. I saw photos of it in Instagram last week. That tree is simply amazing, it's age boggles the mind. That restaurant sounds fantastic. I've been watching Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood's "Master Class" series on Netflix and have seen lots of recipes I want to try when it's cool enough to light the oven again. <br />Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-45351292117570922352017-07-29T18:34:15.157+01:002017-07-29T18:34:15.157+01:00Wonderful pictures, and sounds like an excellent d...Wonderful pictures, and sounds like an excellent day out.
