In reply to Judy. Yes it’s still an eye-catcher and distraction!

Another great article – the first time I saw it I nearly crashed my car!

In reply to Gordon Golding. It’s great that the estate keep it in good repair, and that you have played a part in its history. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Beautiful little folly. I once repaired some stonework on it and also removed some graffiti.

In reply to Garance. Thanks Garance. I hope I have described it correctly. I keep expecting a call from NASA...

Thank you yet again for brightening my Saturday.
Drawing to my attention yet another local folly is always welcome, as is the encouragement for investigation in the future; the added interest of a ‘centre line of totality’ (the narrow track of the moon’s shadow on the surface of the earth) an absolute bonus. A new location term to me – perhaps that is what we are living under at the moment, though definitely feeling that the sun will show itself soon!
