    I have looked back and no ... if it is the first photo it is an angled shadow of the ballustrade as I was near the front door, took a long shot and cropped. ;)

            No worries Vicky....if it's not my shadow then it's either my finger over the lens or a sneaky appearance of my foot! :whistle:

                T'other half finished the right hand side of the Hibbertia scandens (the climbing plant) and attached the lantern. Unfortunately he went to put up the lantern on the left hand side and dropped the base! He picked it up unharmed and dropped it again!!! It is now in 10-12 pieces and is here now trying to glue it together. If unsuccessful, it is a trip to the pottery.

                PS It has not rained, it was hosed down.

                Casa Grade Pottery, Porches, Algarve ... my favourite for at least 35 years ...

                  It looks lovely @Victoria, it really does ... and that pottery, I'd love to visit there :smile:
                  Pitty about the lantern base, I hope it can be mended or that you can get another one.

                    Thank you Michael. Casa Grade is just a few kilometers down the road from that Garden Center I frequent. ;)
