Preparing for Summer in Camellia Corner

Hubby was rubbing down one of the chairs today in readiness for oiling ready for the sun.

I have to wash the others as they are powder coated.

It cheers me justbeing outside at this time of year. But my hands were frozen!

I managed 3 hrs weeding today but as you say a bit chilly. I was too warm with my fleece on but too cold without it.

Lovely corner K... Even though the colour is out of favour, I still like it.Always gives a cheer even on the coldest of days. Do like the decorative plaque on the wall.

Great Karen, it's good to get outdoors. It's been windy but warmer here so I've sent out all day.

Wish I can grow these - too cold. You have a nice selection.

Love nooks and crannies in a garden. There you have another coffee/relaxing corner, Karen.

We have done nothing in the garden. Fortunately it is a Spring garden with lots of shrubs so there is very little maintenance there. OH has planted some bulbs . Camellias are popping out all over. Some were out before the little snow we had. Am always surprised to see these shrubs blooming in very cold weather, though I shouldn't be. Must take some photos.

Thanks everyone. Eirlys, they are gorgeous aren't they...especially the early flowering kinds. I haven't got any in flower at the moment, but later on I think I will have a few flowers. :) Would love to see yours :)

Who cares what paint effects are in fashion? I'm sure we'll all agree that its what you like that matters Your choice looks just right in that corner,fashion or not!

I agree Stera. The table and chair are a kind of victoriana style, so the verdigris suits them I think. :)

Great colours to those Camelias.

I love the colour you’ve chosen for your garden chair and table. Very pretty Karen.
The camellia’s both look lovely, I’ve one in a little corner at the back, bought it from the supermarket for £2.99, a few years back, it’s doing ok, seems “well”enough! Saying that, I get 2 flowers per year!!

Oh my goodness, you are a glutton for punishment Karen, saying that I do like the colour, I'm another who goes by what I like, not what is in fashion, that looks a lovely corner for relaxing with a drink whilst surveying your beautiful garden, that of course does mean sitting still for a while, lol....

Its my biggest challenge LL!

Thank you Kate x

I used the same colours on our garden chairs last summer, when I Annie Sloaned them.......I like it, goes well with the plants, a little touch of Monet!!
