A break in the rain

We have had a terrible summer in London. What started off with so much promise with the driest start of the year I can remember, all went wrong from June when it started raining and it hasn't really stopped since. It has also been really cold at night.  Normally we eat in the garden 3 or 4 times a week, this year we have managed it 3 or 4 times in 3 months!

So when we had a gap in the rain last night and figuring we wouldn't have many more opportunities, we headed outside for the evening (admittedly with some warm cloths at the ready). It was an opportunity use the use the storm lantern  I posted about back in February.


What you can't see in the photo is all the colour (the photos either showed the colour of the lanterns but nothing else, or as above where you can see the whole area but no colour).

Just a shame we haven't been able to use it more.

    Wowsers, it looks gorgeous! Worth all the hard work, I really like it and hope you get to use it lots more

    Beautiful seating area. I can see why you are sad about not having dinner al fresco more often.

    ps. The Echeveria Blue Prince is now on my wish list.

    Thank you. Especially lit by candle light it looks like I hoped when planned.

    Bom, It is a great plant, and should be readily available for in most countries and shows some hardiness.
