Willow Stump - and Tree House?

If you have a garden named after you, it only seems polite to have a close-up photograph. This is the Willow tree, in all its summer stumpy glory. This photograph was taken in the year 2004.

 This is not the stump that Stumpy the cat was named after.

Of course Stumpy Willow is no relation to the small grey tabby cat of the same name who used to live here at Mooseys.

Update - June 2011

Great news - the Willow stump is finally getting a facelift. Or, to be more specific, a garden feature is to be built in it. I'm calling it a tree house, but initially the stump will support a viewing platform, approached by steps up to a short walkway. It's not for sleeping, but for sitting, drinking coffee and reading. The platform will stick out a tiny way over the flowing water, and will be enclosed by a railing.

 Such a great idea, hee hee...

Now I have to keep encouraging Non-Gardening Partner who says he's 'thinking about it'. That's a whole lot better than saying 'Humph'...
