Planning have given us a date of 22nd of April, which is a good thing as it gives us an extra month! Never thought we'd be grateful to beurocracy. Going well, have had the face compared to Easter Island, the Maoris and ancient egypt which says to me that he is suitably ancient. Planning to change the name to 'the ancestor' The druid refers to him as this and we think it broadens him to being everyones ancestor. Possibly considering a big sun staff the ensure balance. There is a 2 tonne base to go on yet, so might not need it. Speaking to the engineer today. Michelle is already eyeing up telegraph poles. We think we are on target, have been criticised for paying too much attention to detail(grin) delighted to be proved right. the details thats shown in the picture are brilliant we thought they might disappear but stand out really well. The face and collar bones in particular. Meeting with The Holiday Inn next week to start planning grand opening. General consensus seems to be small 'civic' ceremony with local councillors, business,press and local galleries etc and to use this to publicise the Druid blessing open to all. We wioll be making him a summer garland with local community to celebrate the solstice and hope to have the blessing on solstice eve this year.
still working hard
