    I put a pic of one of my clematis on the clematis thread Rosa. I planted two together so will have two different colours - only one is in bloom at the moment.

    I bet all your neighbours are envious of your balcony Rosa.

    They look lovely Rosa- I have one of those swirling things on my tree :)

    I thought of you whilst in Morrisons this afternoon- I saw a sort of garden "statue" with two birds on top [cost £10] so I brought it for my friends birthday :thumb:

    I looked for the glass tealight holders, they had all gone but they were offering two lanterns for the price of one. I think one was called a ships lantern and it looked lovely. I was tempted but resisted :hehe:

    I have to wrap it today and get it down to her later. It looks difficult to wrap. I took a quick pic as I have to dash off now. Will be back on this evening hopefully.

    My goodness Rosa it looks stunning I wonder what it looks like from below?
    I bet people think you're having some grand party or something it very pretty.

    I really don't know how you find the room for so many things but I do like it and I bet one can spend hours on your balcony and still keep finding something else that they didn't see before.Well done sweetie! :gnthb: Hel.xxx.
