We have a few new items on show at "The Strand" manor this week. First of all being our new gazeebo and new outdoor furniture. The gazeebo is hexagonal (best shape in the world, followed closely by a circle, then octagon) with a soft cover roof and loaded with 300 fairy lights and of course no gazeebo is complete without a selection of passionfruit creepers growing up the columns. The furniture is all recycled wood, jarrah to be exact, which is a local hardwood. Most of the table used to be railway sleepers. Its like having a new room in the house. We have had brealfast out there since we got it 2 days ago and had a meal and a party in it last night, tis great.
Second new think off the rank is a punching bag. Great for exercise and intimidating guests who you want to get rid of by mid-conversation going and giving the bag a bit of curry, then returning with "im sorry, could you say that again"? with a smile.
Thirdly is our tomato plant. This plant gre all of its own accord. It was a seed i dropped and forgot about when i was planting the REAL tomato plant (which is now dead) this has LOADS of tomato's on it, im looking forward to making my first bolegnese sauce with them
Here is another look at one of the passionfruits growing up the leg of the gazeebo. They should be prudicing fruit within about 6 months apparrantly. So we dont have to walk too far to get desert.......
