Tables and chairs and more tables and chairs....

All the outside furniture is desperate for some TLC (aren't we all?) so starting today we are going to give them a good brush down and a coat of stain.  Hopefully they'll all be dry by 30th March - some years the paint has been known to be a little 'tacky' shall we say.  Sun is shining and the lovely Moira Stuart has informed me that it won't rain but it's only going to be 8°C today, sounds chilly.  Note to self: Put the kettle on.


End of day one and all the tables and single chairs are done.  Backs are aching, clothes are ruined and there's still another day to go.....


All done.  It's amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it.  The gravel is washed (yes, you read it correctly), raked and ready to receive the newly stained furniture.  It's almost a case of just add customers.
