.............................This
It was fixed to the pergola, you can see it there,
and someone asked what it was. As far as I can see it's just a decorative bottle thingy, though sister-in-law said it looked like a old fashioned bedpan for men! Maybe it should be fixed to have water pouring out of it over a pond?
Whatever it is it will probably be attached somewhere else when the pergola comes down, just so that in another 20 years someone can look at it and wonder what it is.
And another mystery............................I planted out some chard plants...............completely GONE! , no sign they were ever there. My guess is the pair of ducks we have around. Next planting.........and luckily I didn't tip out the rest of the seedlings..................will be covered.
Back Soon

Now that's an interesting discovery that makes me laugh! Sorry your plants are missing....something got hungry!?
ReplyDeleteIt has a pretty design on it. I think I'd be tempted to plant something in it. X
ReplyDeletePerhaps it was something they felt was sentimental but didn't really want in the house...you could be holding on to millions!! x
ReplyDeleteBee catcher?
ReplyDeleteIt's either part of a water fountain, or a nesting box for birds I think. I've seen both with that sort of design on it. I'd hang it and plant something.
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit weird but the design on it is nice though.
ReplyDeleteNaughty ducks-x-
strange but pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe ducks are little rotters! Glad you are enjoying the weather. Rain is afoot tomorrow! 😈 x
I can hear your devilish laughter from here!!
DeleteBlinking ducks lol! It's a mystery all round - I have no clue :\
ReplyDeleteOr pigeons, pesky blighters snaffle my greens in the very early hours. Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI googled aged ceramic bottle bird house and this is what I found

Apparently it is inspired by the ceramic bird houses found in the excavations of Colonial Williamsburg. in Virginia USA
I see there is a bird bath in the same pottery as well.
I prefer the bedpan idea!
ReplyDeleteLove the bedpan/birdhouse.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right about ducks and chard.
I love the way you are taking such great care of all the wildlife around you ! ! !
