Apologies to those in the UK

It has been sunny here in Basel, so I took advantage, and after having completed the chair cushion covers ( in progress for nearly a year) I started on some hat work. perhaps I should try some surgery on dorsetb’s panama...

This is my ‘outdoor space’ - I seem to be one of the only few people who actually have plants on their balcony. I wonder if it is a British thing?

I posted this picture on Instagram earlier, on my hat feed, and was stunned to have a gentleman message me who had actually made the Aluminium hat block.
