What could possibly go wrong?

Pollarding a large willow tree, Himself knocked the doof off the top of the sculpture in the small pond. This morning he determined to fix it and set up an ingenious method of traversing the peaty, boggy, fathomless water. Note the kayak, the ladder, the fork keeping the ladder in place and his determined look. I was instructed to stand on the ladder while he strode forth, only wobbling slightly. The job was done very efficiently but I have to confess I was slightly disappointed there wasn't more drama! 
Somewhere on Blip (come on Keen Ken) there are images of Peter the Sculptor erecting the sculpture and there was plenty of drama as he too used a kayak - one we had found abandoned and brought home. Too late we discovered why it had been abandoned, as Peter sank slowing into the boggy peatiness! Arachne has found it!
