Unfortunately, 2 of ours are coloured. Perhaps, if my husband reads this article it will inspire him as he is the DIY person. Your efforts are inspiring.

We have plenty of big willow logs.<br /><br />Love the oil derrick, hope it doesn't blow over if we have strong winds again.

Now I have Kath's magnificent bee hotel too. They must all go up, with a few more bundles of stuff for bees and other creatures.
