Unusual for sure!

How fun is that! Another piece that needs to go into the statue relocation project.

....yes, just a little wacky I think...it almost freaked me out actually - but have to admit it does two jobs 1. a seat and 2. makes people talk about it, lol.

I know, I couldn't quite understand what it was for at first. Very pleased there was a notice board explaining it.

ann @ studiohyde said...

A little different from the usual kind of statue isn't it, lol.

Dear Ann - I have never heard of this place. How interesting as a smidgen daunting. So glad you shared. The isle of Wight - is it nearby where you live?

Mary said...

I love it! But it looks as though it might bite me in my bum. Lol

ann @ studiohyde said...

Definitely different Christine, lol :-)

Hi Debbie....we used to live in Hampshire, it's on the mainland but we could see and visit the Isle of Wight easily. We went back recently for a holiday to the Isle of Wight...had a lovely time....here's a link to the Wikipedia info about the island...

Love it, though I'm glad it wasn't my bum in the wet cement :)

Pat said...

What a fabulous idea for a seat! I really like it :-) x

ann @ studiohyde said...

I don't think I could have sat in the wet cement either, lol ;)

ann @ studiohyde said...

They really came up with something completely different didn't they, and it makes people talk about it, like here, lol ;)
