    Wow Rosa some night shots at last. Flipping (being polite) fantastic:gnthb: It does look like a party or a festival - great, must really cheer you up if you're feeling a bit low. Can just imagine sitting out there with a glass (won't say whats in the glass:) )

    Am sure I could do loads more with my garden but haven't got your talent. It looks a right treat. Get the 'downstairs' photo's put on here too.

    cheers

    Your balcony is just a masterpiece Rosa. Just lovely.

    How did the TV programme go. I seem to have missed out on any news about that. Did you manage to get a recording ?

    It does look pretty all lit up. :)
    You got a clock! It's similar to mine, they are lovely clocks aren't they?

    I don't think you have much room left there. I am amazed at the plants you have managed to get in.

    My friend left a message on the answerphone yesterday Rosa and said she absolutely loved it so that was a good buy :thumb:

    Go treat yourself :luv:

    I bet you will find a space somewhere for it! They must be some sort of covered thing but it feels fairly solid not like plastic things.

    Hi Rosa, I cannot picture what you mean?
    You will have to put a pic up for us to see. Is she a "crafty" type of person as in she makes things? That's kind of her.

    Oh I'm so glad you bought those statues. I usually dither then when I go back they have all gone! :)
    Your friend sounds clever. I love crafts too. I have tried my hand at a few things!
    I agree with your hubby, you should try entering some competitions.

    At our art group they display the work at different times. I will hide mine up!
