They're in !!! All 20 of the Jennifer Susans. So excited to see them in the ground.

I had a simply wonderful time today. My ever-generous 'fairy gardenmother' (L ) came to my rescue & planted all 20 of them, with DD's help, of course. I did the fertilising & watering but the 2 'girls' did the digging & planting. What a great team effort.

After the 'garden party' we had a lovely lunch with a glorious sticky date pudding for dessert as a finale.
What a bonus of a day!!

Great fun outside! A great result in the garden! Great company! Great food!

What more could I ask? Thank you L for a lovely day !!! ...............and as promised........pics of today's result. I adore them.

......and these 2 on their lonesome will hopefully survive, to hide the ugly HWS & AC unit that can be seen from my lounge room.

The TV unit is temporary - when the TV "goes" ( it's an Aldi job) so will the stand

Now to somehow devise a plan to replace the coffee table.........[ img ] [ img ]

Looks great Southies! Very elegant!
As for the coffee table you could sell it on ebay or organise a council pickup or is it something that needs to be 'broken' before you're allowed to replace it?

......you read my mind Mrs R

Oh woowwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeee, that was worth waiting for!!! Loverrrleeee....what's wrong with the coffee table?
T

......straight to the point

uummmm.......doesn't quite do it for me anymore ....leaning more toward something like my side tables or this :

oooooh the curtains look lovely southies! really doften up the room don't they

i don't mind your coffee table!

thanks donuts!
It took us a couple of days to get used to them because they made the rooms feel smaller Wasn't expecting that, but don't notice it now - very happy with the fabric.........just gorgeous

Very nice, Southies! I like your current coffee table ... actually it's nicer to me than the other one you've shown. Plus, since it's glass top, it gives the illusion of a more spacious room.

Southies-after all the angst with those curtains-they have definitely proved themselves worth it! Gorgeous- I love them!

WOW WWWEEEEEEEEEEE

what a beautiful HOME Southies
really beautiful
