New seat

it does look really good Janey.

I agree...Lol!

That splendid

Great work, that looks wonderful. Never would have guessed it was just put together!

looks lovely janey, mine needs a revamp to, must tell baz before the summer ends ;o))

Thanks all...:o) We've been wanting one for ages...those sides really are very intricate ironwork....goes with me old-fashioned garden...:o))

Lol San....it hasn't started yet!

yes but by the time baz gets round to it will be over lol, bless he does his best though ;o))

Tee hee......mmm....I think these seat ends had been in the garage 2 years...Lol!

It's really nice . I hope you get some nice sunshine so you can enjoy sitting on it.

Aw thanks Hywel.......no sunshine this weekend here...rain.....can't believe it's the same season as last week...:o((

I love the bench...... well done to your husband.

Lovely bench and a lovely place to sit.

Thats lovely Janey , clever Ian , how did he find the time with all the other jobs on hand or is the work on the house finished ?

Looks good, clever idea........

Thanks Michaella....I'll give him your message...:o)
Pleased you like it Clarice and Dd........he did this Amy while I was away....house not quite finished, but getting there...Ian is busy in the garage....I took him a coffee, and where there had been a window was a door!! He has plans....Lol!

LOL... gosh what is he doing ? I have to admit that I did that once in one of our houses , we had a very long kitchen you had to go through the hall through the sitting room to reach the dining room .. it occured to me one day that if there was a door at the end of the kitchen I could go straight into the dining room .. by the time Tony came home there was a huge hole through the wall roughly door shaped , I thought he was going to collapse , luckily he thought it was a good idea and finished it off for me ..... ;o)

Oh Amy.....how brave you were to tackle that!! Where there's a will there's a way
I can just picture you with a sledge hammer saying "I've changed my mind!" Lol!
Sounds like it was a very good idea...and what a story to tell everyone who came for dinner.....:o)
What this space for the garage transformation.............

It looks lovely Janey. I have something similiar which needs the wood replaced, you have enthused me to do something about it

I will be watching Janey !!

Well done to Ian..the bench is really lovely.Thats why us men rarely throw anything out...someday will get aroung to making something of it ! Lol

what a fantastic place to relax in the garden !

Lol Bb......any excuse!!
Thanks Trev....:o)

Yes..I hope that the sunshine puts in an appearance, so that you can appreciate this great spot! Is that Lady's mantel? All looks wonderful, and the garden bench looks like an outstanding quality!

I hope so too Waheeda....not today though...still cold and grey...:o(( I see you are in Austria....how are the grape vines coming along, is there plenty of sun and rain? we are really pleased with the bench, Ian did a really good job on it. The yellow plants there are Corydalis lutea and the feathery shrub further up the garden is Sambucus Sutherlands's gold....one of my very favourite garden plants, it has white flowers in the spring with red berries in the autumn too.

We have too much rain, heavey winds and hardly any sunshine...believe it or not! My entire garden is suffering, the clay soil is clogged badly due to high rainfall,my roses have rust...The grape vines are not affected right now, its too early, but I've lost lots of apricots, and I do believe that the harvest will not be all that spectacular this year! So local prices will escalate..sadly.But on a more positive note...I do admire your yellow plants and may get some of my own...thanks for the info! you have a wonderful setup!

Wow - I'd be pleased too Janey - it's lovely!

bench looks really good I too picked up a set of bench ends with lion heads on them will need to get them sorted out Janey.

Thanks Sid....hugs to Berts...:o)
It's really comfy Andy.....ooh, lion's heads, it'll look great! Looking forward to seeing pics...:o)

You can hug Birts...but you'll need a heavy-duty clothes brush afterwards!! lol

Ha....have the same with Ted and Pops...a nice thick nap on the duvet cover!

Lovely photo composition - your garden looks lovely Janey & in full bloom. Ours was really nice in June with all the sun, but has been battered over the last week with torrential rain.
