Our garden at Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital is lovely but one feature never quite made it to completion – the fountain. In fact the original fountain was ruled unacceptable by “health and safety” (don’t get me started!) “in case it causes Legionnaires Disease”! They did actually build the stonework with a modified design which would “bubble but not spray”. Well even that never got going so our fountain is a pile of stones. Sad!
One of the things I love about France is fountains. They seem to have no qualms about Legionnaires Disease (even though they’ve got way more legionnaires!).
Here’s a spectacular one in Nice –
You’ll see one of the men on poles there.
This is a dynamic fountain and at full force it shoots way up into the sky.
