The Mock Turtle

Good grief Epp, that is insanely beautiful. I’d never get anything done.

Epp!! I’m so so jealous! Beautiful view. My fermob chairs were pricey in the US but still look perfect despite living in the extreme weather in DC. Definitely worth it. My fermob rechargeable lamp has been brilliant for indoor/outdoor too.

Marth, I also love your courtyard. Fig and olive trees are a great idea. I do like the idea of the side table too, it’ll look gorgeous between the two lounge chairs.

I just had a DPD notification and the firepit is coming on Friday!

S’mores this weekend, Pip

That view is beautiful Epp!

And your courtyard is going to be lovely, Marth.
I love the beds built into the wall.

Oh my god Epp, your view!!!

I also love Marth's little courtyard garden. My sister has just bought a two-bed bungalow in Auckland with a similar garden and I've been sending her various inspo pictures I've been saving for years, despite having no need of them.

YES.

I love your courtyard too, Martho.

View beautiful Epp
and
Lovely courtyard Marth

Bringing down the tone, as ever, but I really like my new salt pig.

That looks very pleasing to hold.

Well actually the outside of it makes me a bit texture phobic. It is cute though.

Oh, is it slightly rough in that ceramic-y way?

I think your pig is very pleasing, ruby.

And sorry everyone else! please don’t ban me To be honest o just seem to spent time in a chair watching out the windows (and the balcony as it’s getting warmer), so it really isn’t conducive to productivity! I’ve literally got my desk facing a wall in one of the bedrooms as I’d obvs be permanently distracted at work otherwise. I am very lucky to be here for a while.

Yes! A bit terracotta-ish.

I know exactly what you mean! I'm not a fan either.

We had new cushions made for the back of the sofa in our family room (the actual sofa cushions not decorative cushions) which arrived today and they fit our newly washed covers perfectly and look great. It's almost like having a new sofa. I'm so pleased with them.

Ok, yes, I can feel it on my mind’s dry skin now.

I love that texture of ceramic! Lovely pig, Ruby.

I also thought Epp's was a stock photo!

My sofa and chair finally arrived after more than 3 months of waiting while sitting on broken springs. These photos are a bit drive by as I took them quickly (apparently with a dirty lens) in the five minutes Mr G actually vacated the sofa so the cushions are all wrong and sat on The sofa is so comfy and I am thrilled to finally have my Reading Chair. Joy and Moo are terrified of both and are scared to come in the room. I am considering my next moves re cushions/blanket.

Those are gorgeous! Squishy

I do like a nice deep sofa
