I've got the exact same chair, the folding wooden jobby. I bought it on ebay thinking it was a full size steamer chair! It is now in a state of collapse due to me leaving it out in all weathers. I never was brave enough, to oh so gently lower my derriere into its clutches. Fear of me ending up looking a witch, just about to be burnt at the stake, as the whole thing collapsed into faggots with me atop, somehow stopped me!
what delightful poolside scenes! I (almost) felt I was there. and yes, those, ahem, guard dogs, look perfectly at ease. you have such a little paradise there, Cro. thanks for sharing it with us!

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Lovely !
ReplyDeleteVery smart pooches! A lovely selection for your poolside lifestyle. The rubber duck is a nice touch!
ReplyDeleteHa-ha, love the dog loungers. Ice plant is doing well then?
ReplyDeleteIt's loaded with flowers.
DeleteCool pool, Cro.
ReplyDeleteThe dogs are awesome. Their 'live' pic was a really great, unexpected touch in the line of photos of things.
Naughty boys!!!
DeleteNice to see your dogs follow the “no dogs on the furniture rule” as well as ours. I love the little rose, very nice.
ReplyDeleteIt's 'supposed' to be called Pink Pixy but I think it was an invented name.

I had to laugh at the dogs!! So funny how they think everything you put out there is for their use. Your pool side is lovely.
ReplyDeleteEvery one of these photos would make a delightful post card!
ReplyDeleteBless em! I love the lion's head and that lantern!
