SET IN STONE
Although rather awkward to wrap and put under
the Christmas tree, an old stone drinking trough
- weathered and smoothed over many years by livestock
rubbing against it - would make a wonderful planter
or pond for a gardening friend. Rachel Adams of
Stone Troughs sources the containers, plus millstones
and staddle stones through farming contacts in
Cumbria, Yorkshire and Derbyshire. More than 50
troughs in various shapes and sizes can be viewed
at www.stonetroughs.co.uk or call 0113 2841184
for details. Prices start at around £300.
