              Thank you Michael. I find it rather peaceful. You could even have Van peeking down out of the Jacaranda at you from his treehouse.

              I have to work on that border to the right as it hardly gets any sun. There is some Ajuga, self-seeded Cyclamen and grasses but I need something with a punch.

                            Thank you Michael and Upsy. It does lift the spirits (non alcoholic)! :heehee: It is where we sit in the evenings too, in front of the bedroom window, so basically the view from the bed (not the actual pot).

                            I will start September off with Hibiscus 'Petit Sunrise' a dwarf variety. It is quite a grey morning so not very bright but with Nicholas the Meerkat cheering things up ...

                              The furniture was arranged in The Baffa/Garden Room yesterday. It has NOT been cleaned as the tiles are still to go up and the a/c installed.
