Fold away

When we went to view some tools for sale the other evening, I spotted a beautiful little bench under a pile of bits and pieces. I couldn’t quite see it, but liked what I could see. Mainly the painted slats. I asked the lady if it was for sale, and if so how much? “30 euros” she replied. I didn’t even ask Brian if we should have it, which is very unlike us. I just said I’d like to have it please. and found 30 euros in cash in my purse to give her.

Our friends very kindly offered to bring it round to us in the back of their van. Which was lucky as I’m not sure it would have fitted in our trailer.

Since getting it home, Brian released the nut where the bench folds up from with some WD40 and we now have a pretty little bench I can fold away for winter. I will look to danish oil it in the spring to protect it against the weather.
