@Allotment Boy's bench looks grey. You're right 'on trend' -as those numpties like to say
Yes it looks different in different light, it is actually very pale green in a chalky finish. Being on trend is something I have done my very best to avoid at all costs most of my life

You and me both! It looks lovely anyway. I rarely sit on mine - they need a cushion to be comfortable. I sat with a cuppa for a wee while today, as it wasn't so hot - 2 jumper weather
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Evening all. Just home from the coal face. 21.5C earlier and then it steadily dropped to 11C as the wind got up. Horrible. I hate it. Min of 3C forecast tonight and 2C for tomorrow. Hate that too. @Dovefromabove, can you send food parcels to Devon please?
Evening. Just nipped outside to bring the veg plants either inside, on the back porch (under my seat with a blanket over) or in my mini poly-tunnel-potting-bench (with a blanket over!). I’m not loosing anything now!
It really annoys me that I'm expected to be "on trend" with things like paint or furnishings which I expect to keep for many years. Do others change their sofas every year or two?
When my parents retired they bought a "condemned" cottage and did it up. This was in the 1970s. You wouldn't believe the trouble they had, sourcing a white bathroom suite... it was in the days of avocado baths, but my mum insisted on white, saying it would never go out of fashion. It was a blessing when we had the house to sell after my dad's death...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I understand they're now coming back into fashion - not in my house they aren't. Had two houses with avocado bathrooms, the last one my ex and I bought had burnt orange in the downstairs loo, avocado in the main bathroom and peach in the en-suite. I very nearly refused to buy the house.
When we bought a previous house it had a chocolate brown suite but because the people who owned it were what my mom called 'dirty b*g**rs' below the water line the loo was grey with limescale. We had to chip it off with a hammer and chisel. I also thought the wallpaper was a mustard colour but when we moved in we could see pale grey squares wherever a picture had been taken down, it was stained with nicotine.

I hope you are all well.
