Grand Designs!

The hoped for light effect of the new bamboo roof covering installed last autumn on the top terrace is coming through! There is a little bit of wide angle applied here.

A lazy early morning, coffee-ing and blip-commenting abed, followed by an intense demolition of two of our banana trees, with all the associated trunk and long frond disposal, before a bus up to Jarclos garden centre to get some plants to fill that suddenly empty corner of the patio.

We found some hidden-gem restaurants on the way back down which were all full, before settling in Flemings for some light but delicious tapas and a glass or two of red wine with jazz playing in the easy-afternoon background.
