We decided to add a feature about to the rear of the property. We already purchased the climbing roses that will hopefully add that final touch. We always had in mind to build an arbour and with the possibility of an impending wedding on the property at Trentham, it may just be the perfect structure to exchange vows under......If not - it will still add some further interest to our home.

| The hard part was digging the holes and poring the concrete for the posts. |
 |
| 2 days later after the metal footings were set hard in the concrete base, the posts went with the struts that supported them. This shows the outlook to the back of the property. |
 |
| Followed by the view back to the house. |

| I've now started painting the arbour however there is a small glitch. |

It seems that Sue may have changed her mind on the colour choice.Watch this space!!!!! |
Take care and we both wish you all the very best for 2018. Diane and Nigel xx
ReplyDeleteThe very same warm wishes to you and Nigel. We had Simon and Susan from the Loire come and stay with us for three nights on their travels to Australia. Should you both ever travel to OZ, we would extend the same to you both.
DeleteI love the arbor you added.. last to last year my husband decided to put one arbor, he was building that, but in the middle he stopped that.. next year after landscaping in the backyard we have plan to put arbor..
ReplyDeleteArbors make a great statement Krishna.
DeleteThe climbing roses will look spectacular on the arbour, even if the bride and groom decide to have a beach wedding in bathers :)
ReplyDeleteWho knows what the future holds Hels, regardless, we have a lovely arbour that will make the garden "POP".
