Though the bench to goes with it had some repairs done last week so that it can withstand us all sitting on it all summer long.

I wasn't entirely relaxing though as I was potting on seedlings. I can't say I enjoy that job, but it has to be done. I hope your weekend was good.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540591998909116816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135071957131268670.post-87928088154552021512012-04-01T21:31:30.823+01:002012-04-01T21:31:30.823+01:00Good luck with this project Maureen.

It's to worn out to actually use.<br /><br />My little bistro set is a favourite as it's painted a creamy white, and looks quite French, and best of all fold almost flat for storage. I really want a larger table though for when we have a gathering of the clan. We must make that London date soon (can't believe it's April tomorrow)<br />Have a lovely weekend.<br />XMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540591998909116816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135071957131268670.post-81532361178890314332012-04-01T09:52:07.362+01:002012-04-01T09:52:07.362+01:00I've got a real mix of furniture - metal and w...I've got a real mix of furniture - metal and wood, modern and retro. I do love the feel of the wood more though.

I really need a larger table for family gatherings.

And I agree about going wooden - it's SO much nicer than either plastic (cheap) or metal (cold).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861108457109878599noreply@blogger.com
