    I did a sponsored ‘dip in the sea’.in December for Crisis.It seemed very apt,with it being very cold in the North Sea and how homeless plp don’t get much choice in sleeping rough in the wintertime.It wasn’t a large amount that I raised,£100,but hopefully it went to help somewhere.Another fab vlog.Loving the rooftop garden xxx

    I think you should get a simple white frame for the print you purchased. It’s really good and -once framed- would be an attractive feature on the mantel.

    My favourite charity shop is in Nottingham, I think its a Sue Ryder, and you go in and is like stepping back in time to the 40s, has a very vintage feel to it, sells a lot of vintage clothing and furniture, and other things, I always love walking in and having a look.

  • @rebeccarendle3706
    @rebeccarendle3706 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You blue metal tray was beautiful!
    I have had that fountain⛲ for several years now.. Because this fountain does not have a solar recharge battery integrated, It needs strong sunlight to shoot water high and constantly.. And then a big tray to make sure you don't loose the water.. But it's still fun! .

    Hey Mr. C, I hope that you are doing well. It's nice and sunny here in Tacoma, WA. I've got to get going to the laundromat soon since a couple of washers in my building are out of order. I'm not motivated this morning. I hope that the next apartment, whenever that is, will have in unit W/D and an outside deck. Thanks for the info on Ritual vitamins. I think I'll order some in a few months. That last shop, Crisis, oh my gosh, I loved both buffets and that drop leaf table that you looked at. That is a cool neighborhood! BTW, I love your home and I admit I'm a little envious of your roof garden 😉. Have a marvelous weekend!

    Hi Iwan, thank you for your video.the river island top will look good on you, very smart. Love the print. Looking forward to your water fountain. I was thinking the tray would make a beautiful bird feeder. Drill 3 holes evenly around the edge and thread thin rope through each hole, to your desired length. Make a loop and hang up. Although the tray might be a bit big for that. Im sure the birds would love pecking at seeds on it. Just an idea. Beautiful tray, would also look goood with glasses and a jug of ice cold water with lemon, ice and mint leaves. Have a fab weeked. Take care Gale x

    Nice charity shop hop today, thank you. Some good prices too considering London prices, especially that black shirt for £6. I love that tray, good barg too, the only slight problem you may find if your roof garden gets windy, it may blow the fountain spray away leaving no water in the tray, this in turn can break your solar fountain (had this happen to me with a small pond, suddenly all my water was gone as it had been blown away lol!) You mentioned your bathroom, did I miss the update on that? or is it still in transition? Shelves lood good in the kitchen BTW. Have a great week to come, try to not get too overheated in that red zone you live in, the next couple of days.
