    Rhosy - I was going to reply to you yesterday but lost the post when we suddenly moved.
    Are you still enjoying sitting in the garden in your sofa? I have a solution to you that I think you'd love, especially with the views you have.

    I REALLY want one of these, with a hot tub inside.

    However they are easy to build so with your clever lads I'm sure they could build one for you in a few hours. I'd have a go myself & would have definitely made one in the past but the old arthritis has me beat now.
    Loads of info on web on building one. eg. http://diyready.com/build-a-268-square-foot-geodesic-dome-for-300/

    thanks yes we are still enjoying the chair in the sunshine, I love this and yes would love one in the garden, but after the rude words i got for suggesting they build me a summerhouse, :eek:I am laying low for a bit, :rotfl: unbeleivable my dad used to make animal housing and made one of these years ago with wire on as a bird aviary it was on display in the nec we had it in the garden after, with budgies and cockatiels in, :A:A thanks for bring back such happy memories xxxx

    Thanks, how's your ankle ? Xx

    Better thanks, but still not right. I managed to book a GP appointment for 2 weeks time, which is an improvement :) Apparently it will take 2-3 months to heal properly, thankfully most of my jobs involve sitting my ar*e :rotfl:
