Having finally got a dry day in which to work outside......I have now almost completed one pole. All teasel bunches are now tied together with wire and wired on to the pole. Interestingly whatever it is that is infesting the teasels is still trying to survive on the black teasel, as there is still signs on a web-like structure. I can imagine a gallery with an infestation! The 'worm' goes with the theme of death......

I think they look rather like 'over done' chicken satay. My neighbour Olive kindly gave me a hand to get the pole inside before the rain starts again. She had a shock when she saw all the bunches of teasels piled up in the piano room.
