Now that's not something you see every day! In fact it's a really big deal. Takohe birds were considered extinct for 100 years and are now being returned to the wild in New Zealand's South Island. This railway sleeper edged monument celebrates this massive conservation victory.

It's surprising how fast freshly cut oak railway sleepers change from golden yellow to bleached silvery grey. It's one of those unavoidable facts of life that outside timber (AND HAIR!) eventually goes grey, unless you chose to colour it with wood stain. Unsure if hairdressers would approve, though. I knew there was a reason why I lost my hair!!

Our manager's unorthodox tactics of barricading the goal with blue barrels took French manager Villeneuve by surprise, ultimately leading to Nelson proudly lifting the trophy in Trafalgar square. Years later this crafty manoeuvre was termed 'parking the bus', and frequently used against superior attacking teams.

An incredibly special walled garden. Not only for the meandering paths that explore the endless patchwork of spectacular planting and vibrant borders, but even the empty railway sleeper beds that excitedly await herbs, vegetables, fruit & flowers! An overwhelming sense of peace & relaxation that flows throughout this volunteer run paradise.

Old whisky puncheons, planted with striking shrubs, brilliantly compliment this ancient Yorkshire market town. The tradition of making oak casks goes back thousands of years, and certainly well before the fortifications of Helmsley's ancient stone castle.

A Yorkshire oasis enabling you to breathe and relax as you explore the kitchen garden, with a sense of belonging rather than exclusion. A wonderful collection of plants fed by the rotating railway sleeper compost bays.

Immensley impressive. Not only the wonderful design but because of the arduous conditions in which the construction was undertaken by hand. No machinery for digging or carrying the railway sleepers & steel H beams into the garden was possible! Only outside the property for offloading the lorry. No wonder Kerr considered hiring a helicopter to drop in a digger! Unbelievable!
