        You will have a brilliant time. Lots of kid there when I went, schools included. Great play area for them & some plant therapy for you :)

                  @Upsydaisy It's the cheapest tiles going ceramic.. I hope they are not going to crack. When he was doing it, I wish I had paid a bit more. Keep my fingers crossed.. His graduation ceremony next Tuesday.

                  He's very meticulous.. another word for being very slow ..

                  Hehe! Can't blame him. I have had no contribution.

                    @alp they shouldn't crack as long as nothing gets dropped on them. He doesn't want to rush it,so he can do it properly.

                        Good morning to all! A grey and overcast day. Did a bit of watering and cleared another tub. Only 2 more to go. Hope it does rain this afternoon. Can't have too much of it here in Essex.

                        Have a nice day!
