Frugal in the corner

 Hello everyone , how are you all? Well here we are in another Heatwave, thank god the wind is very strong and it doesn't feel as hot as it says it is. We took advantage of the cooler day on Sunday and dismantled the Pergola. It came down a lot quicker than it went up. it was quite sad really. The countless hours we have spent sitting under it, birthdays, cuppa time and family time , putting up hanging baskets and then realizing i can't quite reach to water them and getting drenched as a result. The poor thing was rotten in places and i think it was held together with Faith and Hope . It has been a part of our garden for over 30 years and a part of our history here at Flowertot Mansion. 2 hours later and it has all gone. I have to say in one way i am relieved it has been taken down, when we had that last big storm i watched the entire thing move and shake, i have to admit i was a little scared it might collapse and i really don't fancy asking the Council to replace windows ...
