Autumn Wine and Shelter



Grape arbors serve two purposes...wine and shelter.

It is a long walk on a rainy day from the gravel lane to the house. A metal lean to would have served the same purpose but why not use nature to protect you from the rain and also provide a fine wine when the grapes come to fruition in the Autumn.

A perfect example of form follows function.

Sunny...it is not every day that you can keep dry and drink your roof.

Great way to make something interesting that otherwise might have been just plain boring! ;)

Dawn Treader...LOL...you are right! Just a long sidewalk to an old house!
