An opportunity to see Noseypotter's leopard and elephant. Blog # 22.

55 comments


On television this evening there was footage of a garden which will be open on August 9th, 2009 in Northwold, Norfolk. This is a village situated between Downham Market and Thetford.

It showed the lovely leopard and elephant which GoY member Noseypotter made for a private customer, so here’s a chance for anyone in that area to see for real some of his very best work.

The garden is being opened for charity.
It is in aid of kidney research… thanks to Ian for finding the charity for me on the BBC website.
