Haha! It's good, eh?? I particularly like the oil drum (full) and the old tyre! :)

After I've shopped for essential stuff like furniture...I guess it'll be pots!!!

Saw a couple of 'garden centres' (roadside plant stalls)on the way from the airport... :)))

Oooh...a potted patio...excellent...tropical paradise on the way!! :))

I like what you have done so far with the oil can and tyre

3 Oct, 2011

 

lol@ Stevie

3 Oct, 2011

 

Ditto!

3 Oct, 2011

 

Is that tyre hardy? It might need a bit protection from the frost......not!!!!
You on first name terms with the GC/nursery owner yet? :)
Do they have a specific GC or is it like Philippines they are set up in the gardens of their homes?

3 Oct, 2011

 

Better be hardy..the dog is eyeing it up? Hmm nice big chew!

3 Oct, 2011

 

you could build a polytunnel for karen stevie ~ bit of shade and protection would do that tyre no end of good.

3 Oct, 2011

 

That will keep him busy for a while Pixi!
Karen could always commission you to go over and paint a lovely mural on that concrete wall Pixi :). Lil could mosaic on the concrete drive :))

3 Oct, 2011

 

i can do a barbecue on the oil drum???

3 Oct, 2011

 

Sounds like a field trip....YAY!

3 Oct, 2011

 

is karen a couple of hours ahead of us?

3 Oct, 2011

 

hahah sounds like a party!!!!!!! :) Not sure

3 Oct, 2011

 

what picture will you put on the wall pixi? will you bring Clay to the party?

3 Oct, 2011

 

Well a painting of her garden in France of course with the statue. lol omg Clay couldnt come! he has to guard my garden lol and look after Suki! ;)

3 Oct, 2011

 

mosaic of lobsters lil?

3 Oct, 2011

 

Lobsters on the menu I think, much better that way :)

3 Oct, 2011

 

She will be around 2 hours ahead I think. I have a drill.... Can I put up the trellis or a few shelves or anything really it disnae matter what!

4 Oct, 2011

 

Lil....have you practiced youR palm tree mosaics yet? The field trip could provide plenty of inspiration :)

4 Oct, 2011

 

You're definitely going to be the 'head trellis putter upper/builder'.
I think we should do something that reminds her of France though...

4 Oct, 2011

 

An Eiffel tower made of trellis?

4 Oct, 2011

 

HaHaHa!!! :))))
That sounds like a brilliant idea! GoY party in Lagos!! Got two walls sorely in need of mosaics, trellis and painting! Might have to improvise a bit on the materials, though...plenty of ancient automobile parts! :)

Don't worry, Sticki...got a proper barbecue you can use!

Sadly, the tyre is surplus to requirements and is free to a good home...any takers?? :)

Going to see Abdullah later to collect latest purchases! :)))

Ewwww, can't wait to see what you get!
