Monty Python - we want a snobbery!


For some reason, when I read this a picture popped into my head

from
the book on Prince Charles garden at Highgrove. Anyone remember

the
pic of the structure made of roots?


aka The Stumpery, I think They were very popular with Victorians.

When the
Duke of Edinburgh saw it, he asked his son when he was going to have

the
bonfire. ;-)


I'm with the Duke on that (and especially as I know how well and how
hot, roots burn).

It does have a certain rude charm about it. I do think it would be
well named as a "Snobbery".
