Boring' hedge turned into dragon in East Rudham
A 75-year-old man said he spent 13 years crafting a "boring" hedge into a 150ft-long (45.7m) giant dragon.
John Brooker sculpted the mystical creature out of the 10ft-high (3m) privet alongside his rented farm cottage in East Rudham, Norfolk.
The topiary features bulging eyes, flaring nostrils and a crested back.
Mr Brooker said: "I was standing at my kitchen sink one day and thought the hedge was boring so decided to do something with it."

Back in the 1960s the railway station at Homebush had individual animal shapes of privet dotted along the pea gravelled section of the platform.
I recall a kangaroo and elephant being about 1.5 metres tall. It was the stationmaster who "trained" them.

That's a fancy hedge. I wonder if all the local kids climb it.

It looks sturdy enough for them to climb.
He would inspire children's story writing, I suspect.
