Yes we got this from the local dump and these three young English wwoofers are scrubbing it out. Ed and I picked it up with help, bought cement and got sand from the riverbed. It is very heavy, cast iron no less. Today his friends Grace and Eleanor arrived to use the caravan and help for a few days. So Ed has built this stone base, dug out underneath for a fire and tomorrow we have to get some silicon to seal the hole and make it work. Should be fun having an outside bath. We put it adjacent to but not too near the firewood pile and not too far from the caravan.
Ed has also helped me pot up some Adriatic figs from the suckers underneath. I will have to make sure they get enough water over the summer.
Tonight I made an old Greek fig preserve. What a lot of stages, but hopefully it will be delicious. It seems like a good way of using up the unripe figs.
