    Good afternoon @"M" ny dear friend I do apologise for my spelling error,I have since corrected it's a long story to do with my Romany past ,well my garden is a large rectangle shape as you are probably aware ,the raised beds are rectangular,the shed is a box shape,the path is a long winding rectangle,in fact the only round shapes are the terracotta pots,and the pond,its all to do with an even balance with nature and the shape of the top of the Arbour was a semi circle,need I say any more,enjoy the rest of your day my friend;)

      Please don't apologise - it isn't necessary and besides, it was a lovely play on words which tickled my funny bone (in a kind way).

      The even balance makes sense :thumbsup: Plus, that fire looks just the ticket for heat and colour on a grey day like today. Made me think of jacket potatoes baked in the embers.

          So is the arbour going to have a new roof @wiseowl, or are you happy just to welcome all those sunny days you'll enjoy sitting there? :)

          Good luck with the lap top hunt!
