The Secret Fort

The next project was the fort which came about as, despite the best efforts of the thorn hedge, the garden was still overlooked. This was mainly because each of the new houses apparently came with a free trampoline. Heads bobbed in and out of view constantly, and the squeak of springs was always to be heard.
So, after measuring the corner with the gap and comparing to the dimensions of the fort, I decided that it would fit(just) at an angle.
So, it arrived and was put together, not by me, and with the help of skateboards and a neighbour who only narrowly missed being permanently pinned between it and the fence; we got it into place with not a millimeter to spare.
The gunnera in front of it and the thorn hedge now almost completely conceal it, and it has become known as the secret fairy castle and is usually full of teasets, plastic fairies and plastic fairy toadstool houses.
