Also, love the sheepskin idea. Why doesn't Rob sell them any more?

Anyone know a supplier?

And, yes. She also said it would be great if I could make it swing, and have a canopy. Do you lot all get instructions from one Central Mad Woman?


Convergent evolution.

I can’t remember who does sheepskins now. I’m sure I’ve seen them somewhere. I got my last one from rughouse, but they do turn up now and again at farm shops and the like.

Hauser and Wirth in Bruton sell sheepskins. They're probably not open at the moment. And they will be massively expensive. So that's probably not much help.

Amipest spoke to an old friend yesterday who told her to make a bar in the garden and has leapt enthusiastically into action sawing and sanding pallets.
will post the results though whether that's of a bar on from A&E remains to be seen.

I think I’ve given quite enough to Bruton over the years.

Hey. Read the title.


I expect it to be able to incline as well.

Oh and a floating bench with a little engine would be good. Maybe 2hp. Although, I expect if you really put some effort into the design, you could get it to plane.

So. It got a coffee table, and cushions. And two friends.

Full set will be four chairs, one table.

Thankfully the alcohol will numb the pain.

That all looks really good Nick.

Seems to me there is a market for the solar powered LED drinks coaster. If you can see your drink, you don't need to be walking around risking trips and toe stubbing!
