Hot house



It's 26 degrees in our extension right now. I've popped home to load the car with stuff for our upcoming trip to France and have had to open the doors right up. It's suffocatingly hot. I've put most of the plants into a massive plastic tub with three inches of water. Rob has been gloating over our lush, green outlook (the neighbours look onto another property) which we hadn't really thought about when we bought our place. If the weather carries on like this, the lushness will no doubt shrivel up. The forecast for London is sunshine, while in France where we're headed it's heavy rain. Oh well.

It looks really nice now its finished. What did you use on the deck? a stain?

It's not exactly finished but thank you! Yup it's one coat of a stain called "light oak" - we should probably do a second coat but for now it's fine. Apparently the darker the stain the better for UV protection but this is about as dark as we wanted it, to make it sort of match the bamboo floor inside...
