                Guess what Chris? So am I, 'cos I haven't any real ideas either! :upside:

                Update....
                I've done the prom. on the left hand side.

                Same method as t'other side, but I used the base of a paint tin to mark the big circle. The oval shapes I marked out freehand.

                Probably totally over the top, but I just couldn't stop getting ideas coming into my nut for the pattern, so I gave up trying to and gave myself free rein to go daft.

                Work to the river bank and those little seating areas to do next.

                      Are you going to paint under the bridge arches like the Sistine Chapel? :smiling:

                        Pete. I had thought of doing just that, but the wife said not to bother, and to just go out and buy a roll of embossed wallpaper. :tongue-out3:

                            Amazing how this is going......I was thinking like Jim that there seems to be an Italian influence in your construction here 570.........very interesting. :thinking: Rick H.

                                Paul, Rick and Pete. Thanks for your most excellent and humorous posts.

                                Pete. I like it - Far more appealing than my wife's suggestion of wood chip! I wonder if they do a waterproof version?
