Oooh! Treasure...

One of the advantages of 'doing a bit of gardening' in older, overgrown gardens is that I uncover exciting items like this cast iron wheel...
The owner of the garden was quite happy to let me take it away asking 'are you going to sell it?'
When I replied that I intended cleaning it up, painting it and using it as an ornament I could tell this caused him some inner turmoil...
'An ornament?' he said 'Y'mean like a vase..?'
It was originally one of four wheels on a sheep feeder he tells me...
With luck (and a bit of digging) I might find the other three..!
Joy..!
