Before the rain set in again later this afternoon
Martin completed his work on the Rose Garden Entrance.
Jackie and I visited Elizabeth at Pilley and made our way back through the downpour.
Ian returned home to Southbourne for work, and was therefore unable to partake of Becky’s and sous chef Flo’s authentic spaghetti Bolognese dinner sprinkled with Parmesan cheese with which I finished the Carménère.
I am impressed with Martin’s work, he is very good! Dinner sounds delicious!
Thank you very much, John
????????
I look forward to seeing the construction fully clothed.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
Fantastic! Kudos and high-fives to Martin, and congratulations to you all – a wonderful addition / renovation for your gardens.
Thanks very much, Ed
Martin does good work. I like that arbor has metal feet, so the wood won’t rotten too quickly. I hope you picked a nice stain 🙂
Not yet, Bridget. A good thought. Thank you very much
Please, do. As you know I work with wood (inside more than outside) but treated or not, stained wood will last longer and it looks nicer. There are so many modern stains with colors like red, green and blue.
Good advice
Martin has done a great job Derrick …⛩
Thank you very much, Ivor
Looks amazing. Probably even more when it is clothed with roses.
Thank you very much, Rabirius
Marking is doing a marvellous job and the garden shows it.
Thanks very much, Sue
Obviously, I meant Martin! 🙂

The Rose Garden Entrance turned out very well! In addition to being attractive, it looks sturdy, too.
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Martin has done an excellent job 🙂 Now, it’s up to the roses 🙂
Yes. Thanks very much, Rosaliene
The arbour makes a great entrance, especially with the owls. Great job, Martin!
Thank you very much, JoAnna
That will be so lovely!
Thank you very much, Val
It’s a lovely work Derrick. I could imagine the roses climbing there.????
Thank you very much, Arlene
Great work, Martin! The arbour is a beautiful addition to the roses-home…and I know some roses will enjoy blanketing the arbour with love!
Ooh! I see owls! 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
PS…we had a rainy day and more is on the way!
Thanks very much, Carolyn X
You’re fortunate to have found Martin. The rose arbor is wonderful, and I’m sure will be even more beautiful once there are roses.
Martin did a great job!
Martin’s work is truly excellent and he is very good
I hope it gets covered fast eith roses. ????
We will try
Oh, that’s pretty! Such a lovely addition.
Thank you very much, Laurie
The arbor is a beautiful addition and Martin does excellent work.
Thank you very much, Eugi
You are welcome, Derrick.
That looks fantastic. I am looking forward to seeing how it will be with the roses
Thank you very much, Geeta
A beautiful, well made arbor! I look forward to seeing the roses later on.
Thank you very much, Lavinia
I spent this afternoon making a lot of ragu for a large lasagne, the leftover sauce will be used in a spag bol. The folks in Bologna are shaking their heads.
Thanks very much, Sheree
A work of art. 🙂
Thanks very much, Widders
Looks great.
Thanks very much, Chrissy
Martin is a master craftsman. Spaghetti sounds delightful on a rainy evening.
Thank you very much, Pat
Due to Martin’s diligent efforts, the arbor is coming along nicely.
Thank you very much, Dolly
You are very welcome, Derrick.
So so beautiful!
