6 May, 2012

 

Sticki.....think poor Mark has been too busy to stand it upright!!!!

6 May, 2012

 

yes GM, i would go and help if i lived nearer!!!
i couldnt even contemplate such a project, never mind get anywhere near as far as mark has ~ and in 2 days!!!!!

i think its WELL out of the way ~ just temporarily!!!!

[i was only teasing!!!]

6 May, 2012

 

I know you were teasing! He does work so hard doesnt he? Cant even get out here its far too soggy and wet the grass needs a cut and as for weeds growing!

6 May, 2012

 

its not much of a summer is it GM, maybe i shouldnt expect sun???? on a bank holiday????

such a shame

a nice drink at mark's bar would be lovely i think!!!

6 May, 2012

 

Hi all i have finally finished ??? maybe not ????

I have added a photo just for you sticki as it is your bar aswell if you remember.:))))))

6 May, 2012

6 May, 2012

 

Full Marks !!

6 May, 2012

i love it mark, im so chuffed!!!!! thank you so much

this blog is in my favourites now!!!!!!

6 May, 2012

 

Love the finished effect Mark, Brilliant. Did you make Stickitoffee's plaque? Its fab.
Sticki its so cold & wet & miserable here in SE. I'm totally fed up now, bet it will be hot & dry before long as well! Then we will all moan that it is too hot Lol.

6 May, 2012

 

we were really lucky GM ~ i think it must be mark's bar that did it ~ we now have sun!!!! perhaps you will get it tomorrow?

6 May, 2012

 

Fingers crossed, we do need a drop of warmth!

6 May, 2012

 

Yay!!!!!! Sunshine as well so you can celebrate all the hard graft, it looks good Mark, I think its a novel idea to have your own bar in the garden.
Its been grand here today as well and we still have a gorgeous blue sky...

Looking great now mark ! Enjoy your drink :o)
