A little bit of footy history at Hazel's

I sourced some interesting trellis 

for the grape vines to grow up on the outdoor kitchen (ODK).

There weren't four rectangular pieces available,

so I went with two of those and a couple of diagonal bits.

I am not sure, but I think it works.

Of course it will look much different with

the vines growing up it in full leaf.

In its previous life, the mesh was balustrading on the steps of the Heatley Stand (opened 1932) at the Carlton Football ground, AKA Princess Park.
The stand was torn down in 2008 to make way for new training and administration facilities for the footy club.

It would be especially sweet if I was a Carlton supporter.

However, I most certainly am not!

Although, I did listen to the game on the radio last night.

Carlton were defeated by the West Coast Eagles

in an extraordinarily long, nail biting final quarter

resulting in a mere 3 point difference.

The old Navy Blues will play no more

in the final series of 2011.

GO THE PIES!
