Rubbish Tuesday

This old garden seat was hidden under layers of blue plumbago and bottle brush when we first moved into our house. It wasn't discovered till hubby took to the jungle. Although old and weathered and seen better days, I have kept it in the front garden.  The odd coat of linseed oil is keeping it presentable. I don't advise guests to sit on it, but on occasions, when out in the garden and needing a breather, I do, being careful though.

Hiding,


Ready for repairs

 
A shady nook in the garden, the windmill too has had a spruce up and a few running repairs

  6. The garden seat may be old but it is aging very nicely, at least it looks like it in the photo.
