Wavy Walls (Crinkum Crankum)
Sunday 24th February 2013
A crinkle crankle wall, also known as a crinkum crankum, serpentine, ribbon or wavy wall, is an unusual type of garden wall.
The crinkle crankle wall economizes on bricks, despite its sinuous configuration, because it can be made just one brick thin. If a wall this thin were to be made in a straight line, without buttresses, it would easily topple over.

I am a person with plenty of time on my hands. In the last couple of years I have started these blogs/posts mainly to speak my mind and generally release some pent-up frustration.
In my early years I played the guitar ( and still do) for several bands, covering various styles, rock and roll, country and middle of the road.I played as a soloist, writing my own songs, lyrics and poems, and started in folk clubs. So I thought this might be a good way to express myself and hope that I can pass on to other people. While I have been doing this I have also discovered other people whose writing I also like so am learning as I travel this road to discovery.
Update… Have now posted a few and received some good responses, and discovered other good pages. my music had become a little more prominent due to frequenting folk clubs and jamming sessions.
Thank you and Please enjoy..

Very unique garden wall. Thank you so much @Gerry for your stopping by
They are fairly unique and strange,, and thank you for stopping by and you are welcome..;)
This post about the wavy walls was amazing. Thanks for showing us what they look like and telling us why they were built. While I’m here, can I say I’m a bit confused about the blog site; Restawyle is your site, isn’t it, Gerry? But the post was on Legends Undying. I’m not sure how it all works.
Hey Trish,, yes Restawyle is my site, but I do a guest Sunday post on this Legends site.. a very enjoyable and different experience. So every Sunday this appears,, I must keep my Restawyle site up though it has been lacking of late.. Thankk you Trish and you are always welcome…;)
Ok, I get it now. I’ll go to the Legends site sometimes to check out your stuff.
You know, Gerry, I am also fascinated by the houses like the ones in this photo, that sit right on the road. I wonder how it would feel to live in a house like that and step right out of my door just a foot or two from the street. Over here — at least in smaller towns, even people who live on the main streets have some degree of yard or extended porch and steps area that separates them from the street itself. I’d like to have the opportunity to live in a house like that for a while. Maybe you could do a post on those houses, huh?
Yes Sandra that is an idea,, but there is a lot of garden behind these houses, and to buy one you would need pretty close to million pounds or dollars.. but I am reading a book called the Forest and it gives one a good idea as to how the roads are close to or direct.. but I will log into note and put this subject as a to do..Thank you as always Sandra and so very welcome
