So we have been able to get out into the garden. We have taken the two old arbour benches apart and re sited one down on the stone circle at the end of the garden.
It's more visible than the blue metal bench especially now in the winter but once it's had a new coat of stain or paint and the trees and shrubs grow their leaves it won't seem so big.
The raised bed is looking lovely and full
The hellebores adding a nice splash of pink to the greens.
Along with the purple of the crocuses.
Back in the flower garden we have been filling in the edges with homemade compost and playing musical pots!
We have four large blue pots which have always stood one either side of the arbour benches. But some of the pots would get covered above by plants growing in the borders and one would always have a lovely display for trailing plants every year.
So we placed them back where they used to be.

But remembering how they'd get covered, we decided to try them in a few other places.
One was to have them either side of the path to the arbour seats as shown.
Another was to place one in each of the four borders halfway round each circle curve.
Or to place them just the other side of the path into the arbour seats. At the moment we are deciding between on the paving either side of the arbour seat path or in the border either side of the arbour seat path!
Guinevere has gone back on her column and hopefully we won't have any more gales for a while and she can stay in place.
