A quiet day by jamibann

A quiet day

We were both really tired last night and agreed that it was good that we were having a quiet day today. That did not quite work out, and we have both laboured in the garden from 9 this morning until 5 tonight. Here, hubby is having a well earned rest following his industrious day. The seat has been made from granite lintels which came from my dad's house. He had 10 of them, and wanted us to use them if possible. We used most of them for our back step from the kitchen into the garden (I'll post that another day), and John had the idea to make a seat with the remaining pieces. I think it looks great.

We continue to make good progress with the outside of the house. Monday should see another step forward, as we should get the builder back and a big load of chuckies to be laid all round the house.

We definitely see light at the end of our tunnel!
I like your composition and the placement of the pink flowers. I guess ‘chuckies’ must be a little bit of dialect?!

Love that seat! Looks like a great place to rest and take in a day's work.

@quietpurplehaze Ha ha ... maybe it is, I don't know! Chips perhaps ... anyway the small stones that you lay on the ground. Ours are red granite.

Looks a great seat .. and does look as if it would get shifted on a hurry.

Mind was boggling over what chuckies were.

Love that seat!
I always want to look up things (librarians use to do so). Where would we be without Wikipedia? https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Chucky

Love the seat :) We had a similar one on the farm - no way could you move it! You deserve a rest today - hopefully :)

Everything you have shown us so far has been beautiful. Keep the pictures coming.

That is a great bench. It's good you could use the granite in several ways.
