In reply to Charles Cowling. Hello Charles. Alan and Clair have wonderful ideas, but not only on a miniature scale. Their Shropshire garden is full of full-size curiosities. In fact, it must feature here sometime soon...

In reply to TOM GARDNER. Good evening Tom. Exactly! As I was taught at school, 'slow and steady wins the race'.

In reply to Sian Rees. Hello Sian. I agree! These structures could so easily have been forgotten, but we are able to appreciate and admire them thanks to the records Alan kept.

Deliciously bonkers — sine qua non folly-wise.

TRULY A MOST ENJOYABLE OFFERING.
IN THESE TIMES OF … WORLDLY UNREST, IT IS REASSURING TO VIEW …
THE ‘GOOD’ – THAT STILL EXISTS IN THE SPECIES – ‘HUMAN’.
THERE ARE WORTHY LESSONS TO BE LEARNED FROM OUR FELLOW –
CALM, SLOW MOVING … BEINGS.

In reply to Nic Orchard. Hello Nic and thanks for commenting. It’s always a joy to write about people who are continuing the great folly building tradition - especially with a tortoise twist!

Thank you. It is reassuring to see the follying of the country continues and in such splendid fashion.
