Geoff continued to paint some figures, then painted the trough.
Stephen painted the fencing, then glued clumps of long grass to the base of the fence pots.
Discussion then took place about what material (that we had to hand) would be most suitable to represent water in the trough. In the end, Geoff mixed something up and using a small syringe (without a needle) slowly injected a layer into the trough. Initial thoughts were that it looked like water apart from the anticipated meniscus around the edges which was larger than we hoped for. We will try some thinner material over the top, next week.
The subject of the final photo may, or may not have appeared before. It's a TV aerial made from fine wire/rod to a design by one of Stephen's old drinking mates. However, Geoff was equally aware of what each of the elements 'received' and even what transmitter in the Cottesmore area that the pictures would have been broadcast from! It is vulnerable, but has a steel 'fixing plate' base and snaps onto a magnet buried in the chimney stack allowing it to be stored safely.
3D printable ponies for the field are still being researched.
