    Seen a advert in a local paper today saying that a someone had various vintage/reclaimed items that may be suitable for use in the garden so I popped round and came back with this lovely vintage chimney pot for £5 :dancy::), it stands at 98cm tall and is very heavy :biggrin:

        I know Zigs, I didn't need very long to consider whether to buy or not when I asked the guy how much he wanted for it :snork:

          I used to have a somewhat more standard chimney pot which I filled up with broken bricks and stones to allow a placcy pot to sit flush with the top. In the summer it had a pot in with a very lax scarlet Dianthus tumbling down the sides.
          I'd love to get my hands on one like yours Bilbo!
