OK, so get out your Cliff Richard albums, and crank up 'Summer Hoiday' to get into the mood.

Well the last cold night is gone, and before the green house turns into an oven in the summer heat, it's time to take out the orchids that are liable to fry, just leaving the den phals and catts to revel in the sauna. That leaves the greenhouse looking pretty desolate.

It's summer holiday time, and I managed to finish this shade house for the mounts just a week ago. In the photo the mounts blend into the background a bit.

The terrace out back is where the hanging baskets go.

The OH said "Don't fill the table with orchids!" Well, half isn't filling, is it? Plus, where else would I put the thin leaves?

Then the phals go round to the shady side onto the waterfall stand.

That just leaves me to don my pinny and duster and go clean up the greenhouse, or as the OH calls it, "The Play Room."

I ask you.

WOW! So very nice! I envy you and your wonderful spaces for plants. They are beautiful and look so healthy, you must be super busy. I agree with OH, leave a little room on the table so you are able to relax, dine and enjoy a nice wine while gazing at those orchids.

Thank you.

Yeah, it takes a while to move them as nothing really replaces carrying them in your hands. I daren't fill the table, (well maybe a couple more) a) there would be trouble, and b) that is where I like to sit and relax.
