My latest acquisition. ..

An old Chinese rice bucket I think this could look quite attractive planted up with bulbs in the Spring...what do you think?

That's nice :)
And I can see a galvanized watering can in the background too. There was one in my father's garden and I think I threw it away :(

Hywel that is an old watering can, shame you got rid of your Father's, they have so much more character than the new ones....
Thanks Amy and Karen...

It looks very Phillip Serrell DD on bargain hunt! He likes wooden bygones, or even Chinese rice buckets. I'm sure you will make good use of it in your garden display.

Dorjac that is true, he does like old and unusual pieces, sometimes I am amazed at the items he buys!!

Funny in a recent programme, maybe a repeat, Serrell had an auction success with a blue plough made of metal of course. He really does like woody items. The bucket you bought was really lovely. We've given our old outdoor bygones away. I do have about 9 chimney pots and 3 old China sinks, now I come to think of it but no money payed.

I still like to see the chimney pots planted up, and the sinks..
