It looks like something you play with when you're a kid... it reminds me of a smurf's house (not sure if you ever had smurfs over there).. they lived in mushroom shaped rubber houses... this is great, thanks for bringing back a childhood memory!

I do believe this is Dutch Tutch built from the bottom half of a helter skelter once on Yarmouth pier! Amazing shot.

What a fabulous building, I would gladly live there on the water. Excellent photo Richard. Interesting to hear Ronnie 2c info on Dutch Touch, it could well be.

@Observing: So would I, but I heard that in the Broads, even the sheds by the water fetch £150,000......
