Just to the left of the new recycled cycling shed is Chris's new secret seating area. It's so dark and shady, photographing it was a tad difficult. How clever of him to sculpt 2 such lovely old and gnarly seats out of hawthorn stumps and then hide them away. As if that wasn't clever enough, he built the little wooden steps leading to them and then positioned the seats ensuring the best views across the garden and then supported them with left over 'Barnsley' stone. Surprisingly, they're very comfortable and the one on the right even has a G&T holder on its arm! Annoyingly and being on light duties meant that I wasn't allowed to do a single thing to help in any of it. Maybe this Saturday, we'll have a scout round and find a few more suitable plants to sneak in along both sides of the steps
Now all we need is the time and the weather to sit in them! In the meantime, we have the satisfaction of another garden feature which looks as if it's been there for ages
