Saturday Steps with Mr Pim at Westonbury Mill Water Gardens

Mr Pim is on his steps

He's working on his Oak Tower which will have a viewing platform on the first floor and a water powered mechanism that will work the clock and make a large bird sing every hour!!

Mr Pim's garden is open to the public.

Westonbury Mill Water gardens

Its dog friendly so we got to have a look around

There are all sorts of interesting things to look at.

We would just like to say at this point that 

"dogs on leads are allowed in the garden"

 we had our leads on all the time Mom photo shops them off.

We don't want to miss lead anyone

We arrived at midday, dad can't do anything without having a cup of tea

We had to wait while they had dinner!!

"George just what is that thing?"

"Its a water wheel, I think!"

"its taking the water to the top of the tower, I can see steps George"

  "Look I know I like steps but these are a bit on the slippy side"

"The water must be filling up the tower!"

"Wow, quick look at this"

"The water's coming out of the funny face"

"and seagulls flying around"

"Heck Tess they aren't seagulls they're Doves that live in the tower"

"come on lets take a look at this"

"someone likes wine!"

"It says in the leaflet that its made out of 5,000 wine bottles"

"The reflection in the pond is amazing"

"They don't look like Wine bottles" 

  

"I bet Dad could make us a dog house out of his beer bottles"

"Come on Tess nearly at the top"

 "are you going to look, I can see a bridge"

"Tess this is how you cross a bridge, don't look down and keep walking. Are you listening?"

"I can't look, she won't do it"

"don't look down and keep walking, don't look down and keep walking,  George I'm almost there"

"Well done Tess, I thought Mom would have to carry you across"

"I just closed my eyes"

"George do you think we might get some tea, I could do with a rest"

 While we're having a break Mom can show you some more photos 

We enjoyed our time at 

Westonbury Mill Water Gardens

So I'm going to give Mr Pim and his gardens my 4 Paws up award

We will be going back when he has finished the giant water powered cuckoo clock.

Have a Good Week

Love and Hugs George and Tess xxx
