Il etait une fois...





Once upon a time we had a tree in our garden. The birds chirped in it outside our bedroom window, and the males of the family built a treehouse in it.





Two weeks ago southern France suffered terrible storms following prolonged rain. Trees everywhere were skittled...





Whilst cutting up the trunk, I facetiously mentioned to Ben that the first-cut stump would make a good stool.





One week later, we have solved the problem of a little set of chairs and tables which have been so desperately missing from the grape-vine pergola...

Very recup'!

Hello Floss, just popped over to say thanks for your message! My parents lost a few trees in those heavy storms (they are in Lot et Garonne)what a shame about the treehouse..but cool new stools, they look like flowers on the top!

Yes, thanks for coming to look! I think the stools look as though they've sprung up from the ground, maybe more like mushrooms than flowers, but very organic...
