It’s the end of the summer and the patio needs to be put away for the winter. Oh how I have enjoyed my pretty solar lanterns lighting up each evening. The parasol will be resigned to the garage and the bench cushions and blanket will be stored for next spring. You will notice from my picture a hat and coat stand (black) which I picked up for a tenner in Junk & Disorderly in Bagshot. This has been a source of delight over the summer to hang a variety of fluffy hangy things- for which I am quite famous. Mostly things I have made or put together for display purposes. Lanterns, hearts, flowers, trailing things and paper birds. A necessary addition to a garden with minimal real flowers.
