A Con seat!

Despite its looks you would need to be very thin, it is only about 9 inches wide.
Gardening is the great leveller.

That's an amazing chair. Can you tell me more about it? Why is it so thin? Looks great anyway!  ;D

We had a bench where the wooden parts rotted away. The sides and back panel are metal so they stayed usable. I turned the back panel on its side and bolted it to the end pieces. I used some scrap roofing lath timber for the 'seat'. It is just a joke chair really.

It is lovely and would look great displaying a pot or container on the seat with overflowing pretty summer flowers in it  :)

No sooner said than done. Hate to disappoint a lady. Now all I need is some Germolene for the scratches and a way to unglue her from the seat!  She refused point blank to wear a crown though.

Smile, it confuses people.

Brilliant pic... and I agree about her expression, it has slightly malicious undertones, you can imagine her looking up at you before she pounces to get you back! Lin
