I do like that wooden chair in the background. Is it made by a company called "Gnomes"? They do the most fabulous design work I think. A neighbour of mine got them to do the ENTIRE outside of her house (window frames, doors, balconies, porches etc) and it looks pretty awesome as you can imagine!
The chair is actually a teak tree root. I got it in the 1980s ... actually, I kind of rescued it as it was stuck outside in the middle of winter in the grounds of a nursery and was looking very sorry for itself. Cost me a fortune even in those days, and had to give it lots of TLC, but now it takes pride of place in our conservatory.
Great picture Tony. You both are very handsome men and beautiful dogs. I'm proud to be your friend
and thank you for your kindness. Merry Christmas to you!!
