There was a wonderful metal frame for a gothic, stained glass window that would have made a wonderful screen in the garden but how to get it home? Not to mention all the work of breaking out the remaining bits of glass and scraping the crud off the metal.
Contented myself with enamel bits..

Thanks. I bought the new curtains for the kitchen which will be redecorated next spring but they're just a bit too long for the back window in the picture and too short for the bigger window at the front so for now they can go in the spare bedroom while I ponder lengths and modifications.
The "retro" curtains were bought in John Lewis in 1991 and have also had length and room changes.

Off shift today and it's pouring! Where has this summer gone!
apologies susan for late reply and thank you for the rose info. Perfect day for a bit of rose ordering today!
Thank you Chicky and yviestevie for compliments, sadly it's all a bit over now and ready for autumn tidy up! OH did a good job on the grape vine though already so next job for me is to find the perfect climbing rose to run through it. Love those kinda jobs
love all your boot sale bargains Obxx, especially the French enamel to which I have a kinda addiction! Still have some to unpack from when we moved!
Know the feeling BM. I have boxes of stuff we cleared out of our kitchen when it needed re-plastering and new pipe work and they are still in the attic. Things like old jelly molds I had on the wall and some copper pans.
They can stay there now as we are planning to sell this place and downsize when OH retires while we still have the energy to create a new garden we can manage more easily when we're older and also get a house the way we want it.

Oh obelixx are you excited for move? Have you seen anywhere you like or is it too early to look yet? Love jelly moulds but not started a collection yet!

Oh wow, Obelix. Love the casserole and steamer. Pretty curtains too.
Great planters Obxx - really pretty pattern on those steamers
Also missed Beaus gorgeous front garden before ....think I was on hols. Looks like something straight out of a country living mag
Garden looking good BM. Love those curtains. Haven't been to a good car boot in ages.
What a lovely kitchen, love the retro curtains at the window
