When I was in Bristol recently I passed a shop specialising in all sorts of engraving and brasswork ~ most interesting and just my type of shop. I had been considering having a brass plaque made for the tree bench I recently made, which now is at the garden where my friends Sue, Fran and I meet every Wednesday.
Here again is the bench, after a number of coffees have been enjoyed over delightful and amusing conversation, during the past few weeks.
And today I fitted the plaques.
. . . a closer look:
I had to be careful of the wording because normally such an inscription on a bench occurs when a person has passed on.
lol . . . all three of us being very much alive I avoided the words, "in memory of".
That looks great! The finishing touch! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Betsy . . . on to the next project . . . :)
DeleteHi Eddy - looks great and describes exactly the whys and whats ... wonderful to see the result -happy days indeed ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilary . . . :)
DeleteA nice added touch indeed
ReplyDeleteGood you took heed
But hey, if you did not
Could really bring fame to the plot
For you could pretend to be a ghost
A haunted bench then at your coast lol
People would indeed feel daunted
DeleteIf they knew the bench was haunted.
So I think I shall pretend
And say I had a sticky end . . .
Might as well have lots of fun
And shout, "Boo!" and make 'em run . . . lol
HI Eddie....
ReplyDeleteVery nice touch....how about a few potted plants?
Enjoy your week...
We are hot and humid here...feels like 38c! 😅😅😅
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Thanks Linda . . :)
DeletePotted plants, maybe . . . but we are gradually planting the new reclaimed areas.
We have started the next project of cutting through some wild brambles to make another walkway. Thinking of buying a machete or hiring a wild man from Borneo . . . lol
Just passing through and spotted your blog. Just had to pop in to say Hi! Gosh, it's been a long time!
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, what a peasant surprise ~ gosh it is a long time.
DeletePlease call more frequently . . . and very good to see you. I am wandering over to see your blog . . . :)
And I am sure you will have many more interesting conversations with your friends over a cuppa coffee while sitting on the bench in the shade of the old tree.... what a lovely spot. And the plaque makes it so special, so personal. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sham. Well, there will be something to remember me by when I pop my clogs . . lol
DeleteKeep your clogs unpopped for a while, Eddie.
DeleteI'm going no-where . . . the only clogs around here are those I bought when in Holland . . . lol
DeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you, SAM . . . :)
DeleteYou know what I think? I think that's one beautiful tree bench and one fine plaque you got there, Eddie. I'm giving you a straight A. That's right.
ReplyDeleteNow, excuse me while I go take a nap and dream about some beauiful, um, lap? lol
Blue
Thanks Blue . . . and happy dreams . . . :)
DeleteSong along, Eddie: CLICK!
DeleteHi Blue, yes I know that one quite well . . . I need Harry Potter's magic wand though to make it happen . . . lol
