Our loveseat....

The weather is still quite bad (us brits love to moan about the weather) and it's frustrating when you can't do anything, so we decided to put our loveseat (with hole for pole!) together. As you can see it's not the most complicated of instructions, although we did have trouble trying to put a round screw in a hexagonal hole! It does look great tho, now all we have to do is paint it before we can put it in the garden.

Still raining...

Still raining, still dull and grey outside. Had quite bad winds in the night and one of our plants blew over - no damage tho. The lettuces are loving it, they've grown about an inch, which is great considering the weather. It's still very windy and it's not supposed to get any better :-(
Our bench/ loveseat arrived today (we paid for this one only £30) Took a photo of the box 'cos it made us laugh lol!
no hope of putting it up today tho, which is a shame 'cos I love flat packs! So we're ebaying today, clearing out the junk - if you'd like to see what we're selling (or just to be nosy lol) our id is andrewsmt26.

Current Projects

Two current projects - just waiting for the sun to shine (grr british weather)

Herb Garden

Planted a few herbs - rosemary, parsley and lemon thyme (bought in the sale 35p each) and the smaller ones are coriander and basil grown from seed. Ive tried growing herbs before, but they've always died on me - so I'm trying again, maybe Ill get lucky this time.

New bench

This is our old bench from last year, made by my husband out of wood from an old bed frame, which I painted red, balanced on bricks which were left behind by an old tenant (a brickie) its held up really well. We are re-using it for outside our backdoor (nothing is ever thrown away). Our new bench (which we will build when the weather gets better) will be made from two old 8ft long 4x4" planks, which had been dumped in a garden a few doors down - (we had them when the tenants moved out - with permission of course!)
