This is on topic!!!! :-) This is in my friend's Judy's garden who
lives 20 minutes
from me. Judy is a well known artist and also sculpts. The lavoire
was where women washed their clothes in the "old days". To show scale
I have stood on the mount, note the stones jutting out below my legs
where one climbed up, please excuse my bum! The mermaid is almost
finished, and I have posted a pic of that also, all with my friend's
permission, hope you enjoy them.

What an amazing thing.
I've seen loads of old public wash houses in France usually with a
faintly Romanesque feel - columns, tiled roof, etc , but never one with
an arch into a hillside on private land.

It's amazing isn't it!!! We have our own bakery in our courtyard
complete with huge circular brick oven (now used as the pool house).
I love old places and their treasures.
