The garden is wonderful and I do like that boat seat (sorry not quite sure what it is called) but I like it lots! I can just visualise a nice little tea party there. I am not very keen on those heavy mosaic tables much prefer a round wooden table in fact I am looking for one for the balcony and also a solar indoor fountain. I have been a bit distracted of late and not read all your posts and I don't see you mention your legs but hope they are on the mend. 28 degrees here.

I'll be venturing out into mine shortly, to peg out the washing and, as it's going to be hot for the next few days, I'll be putting the paddling pool up.<br />Enjoy those freshly dug potatoes.
