Underneath the Arches...

I've been building trellis arches..... and finally erected the last one today. I bought eight from eBay.. ....exactly what I wanted but a virulent orange, so each has had to be toned down with green stain ... and will now be allowed to weather naturally. This shot, of the sort-of-oriental-pond-terrace ( second one diown), is taken sitting on a single seat under one arch looking through another. Eventually they will be covered in scented or unusual climbers. Note the Acer by the pond ! There are 2 x 2 seater benches in this area... which is cool and shady for quite a bit of the day... you can just make out the second one to right of the terrace.
