    Sounds good.

    Should we do a trial run on Sunday sunset (would sunrise Monday suit Gen as a time match idea?) and a full run on Thursday?

    Does that give people time to organise ideas?

    Just a suggestion.

    I'd go with that :)

    Just a quick snap of the garden

    Here: http://i59.tinypic.com/2e4dqnk.jpg

    Look for: Left hand side, the Nikkster solar lights on the windowsill, charger sits on the floor gathering light through the doors; Right hand side a NP gift of a shell heart. Also, the cheapo outdoor thermometer (no hook out there yet for it) and a bowl of shells/driftwood etc.

    Also: the donated table/chairs.

    As you can see - the rest is neat, but empty.

    But now you have an idea of the size/layout etc of the garden :)

    Skip three quarters full. All t's ( special horse) stuff that's going is gone I think and lots of rubbish and junk that's been gathering waiting to go to tip. We do go to tip a fair bit because we take the recycling, but other stuff accrues.

    The doglets had their photo taken last week .


    That's an amazing photo - to get them both looking at the camera and so cheery, at the same time!

    Looking good! The lights are pretty, as is the heart and there's just a hint of incredibly tasteful curtain. The table and chairs are bargainous - good nick!

    It wasn't lost on me. Doozerdog does not like having his photo taken and Twozerdog's colouring is such that you often can't see his eyes, just the evil eyebrows. They knew how handsome they were amd had a lovely day being fussed over.

    They have a dog lucky dip where you put your dog in an enclosure and they pick their own bag of treats. DD had to pick Doozerdog's as he was more taken with sniffing the evidence of a previous dog against the gate.

    Yeah, they're in good nick .... very good nick. Just one 'broken' chair where a guest with a fat 4rse plonked on one of them and broke two slats, but I was provided with "a bit of wood" that fits that space.... and I only need 1-2 chairs max 99.99% of the time anyway.

    I could take another photo, showing the curtains a bit more... Edit: just tried that, it's a lot of awkward faffing about, so didn't come out well, so I've not bothered to upload it. :)

    The Doozer dogs look shoo cheeky in that pic :) Excellent posing skills too.

    PN's garden does look lovely and calm, doesn't it. V nice table and chairs. Can't spy any weeds in the patio either! (shame the same can't be said about my patio)
