    hi marley thanks for the lovely comments, yes it recovered very well in fact i think it looks better out there especially since my brother tiled the floor what a difference it has made a pleasure to sit out there when the weather is nice as when its windy its not very pleasant with being on the top floor.
    been buying some new plants and have seeds in my pots they just coming up now, just waiting for them all to flower now

    I love your balcony Rosa, an oasis. It would be fabulous if more people did this, you have even inspired me to consider something on the roof of my extension which my bedroom window looks over the top of-something must be possible.

    Hi Rosa,love the Budda:gnthb: How did you managed to carry it all the way up the stairs to your flat?I would have given myself a hernia trying to lift it and are you going to hide it for when Mr Rosa comes back in a months time?:D I reckon you will need an extension to your balcony soon:D
