Travel Theme: Interior

If you are wondering what to do with all your empty wine bottles then how about building a folly?

 A sparkling interior.

This 5,000 recycled wine bottle folly is in Westonbury Mill Water Garden near the “Black and White” village of Pembridge in Herefordshire.

Heyjude

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

    1. He says he didn’t actually drink ALL 5,000 bottles himself 😉 but it is a bit of a ‘mad’ garden.

  2. How colorful and that’s a lotta wine! 😀 😀
    I saw an article in our newspaper about a year ago about a guy who built a fence with plastic soda bottles.

  3. Hmm, I could like this DIY project muchly 🙂 Jokes aside, the rickety part-built gazebo in my previous garden had alcohol bottles as the foundation. At first T thought it was a clever recyling project until a neighbour told me the owner before me was an alcoholic who would retire to the garden under the pretext of doing DIY and drink his fill where his wife couldn’t see. I found empty booze bottles all over the 1000 square metre plot for years afterwards, buried under the ground and hidden in bushes.

    1. So now you know you should have kept them and built yourself a lovely shelter – it does look rather pretty when the light streams in.

      1. What I found weren’t an option – an array of cheap and nasties. Remember Autumn Harvest “Cracking”? Loads of those and Hunter’s Dry, Savanna and others in all sizes. Six years on we were still digging them up 🙂

  8. LOL at first glance, I thought I might need to schedule an ‘intervention’ for you.

    Jude quote: “I only drank it for the love of art.”

    PS It’s very cool 🙂

  9. I do like this idea, Jude. Nothing to do with the alcohol content of those bottles. Where can I buy blue wine bottles, do you think? 🙂

    1. I have had blue bottles – went through a phase of collecting blue glass, but got rid when we moved. Not wine though, maybe sherry?

        1. I don’t think Port comes in blue bottles though 😦 And I don’t actually like sherry, unless it is in a trifle.

  10. I was going to help you drink the wine but I see Sue has beaten me to it! Let me see . . . 5000 bottles between three of us . . . that would take . . . oh many happy evenings!
