    The wicker structures are made by local artist Trevor Leat who is amazing. Most of his art ends up being burned in ceremonies. A most evanescent art! There is usually a local Wickerman festival in the area, not this year of course.

      I've been to the wicker Man festival a few times. Some pretty famous bands have played there. I remember seeing the animals, the buzzcocks and the stranglers play there.

      He is the uncle of the actor Sam Heughan who is Jamie in Outlander. They have had Trevor make several pieces for the show.

    Hello Ladies,
    The "Private Uncle" plate was made using the M.I.G welding process, is most likely on "hot rolled" mild steel plate and so is probably less than 30 years old.
    To me this makes it super interesting as this is exactly the sort of thing we used to knock together to tease each other back when I worked in a steelworks in the 80s-90s, unless there's some other explanation "Uncle" was probably a facetious nickname for a grumpy older worker...
    Love it...
    Keep up the good work

    I just love to watch you work, Gail, it's so relaxing. BTW I think you are correct about the metal plate, I believe it is a 'G' like you said, not a 'C' & that crosspiece has fallen off. Ungle is actually a very old surname in Britain. It makes perfect sense that the piece was a combined nameplate & no trespassing sign for someone's property.
