Summerhouse







We have now put the finishing touches to the summerhouse that we erected last Autumn. The two side walls are lined with matting made from thin bamboo or thick grass, I'm not sure which, and the back wall has two brass plates and a picture of the seaside on it.. A rug on the floor and an brass topped table for drinks, books etc make it feel homely. All these items were bought for next to nothing at auctions over the years. Already the summerhouse is catching the full afternoon sun and it is warm enough to sit there with the doors open. The view out takes in part of the garden, at present with spring flowers and bulbs. We are pleased with it and intend to spend many happy hours there in the evening sun.
