I had Seagrass before and changed it after a year or 2 to a more cottage green colour. Yours looks lovely but it didn’t really look right in my garden.

@

Penman i wanted something like that, I spent half of night awake thinking how I could mix a colour with it , I didn’t want this colour either but there’s no paint anywhere & I was just impatient, I only painted it brown last week, I’m so indecisive

I know the feeling! And once you start there’s no going back I’m desperate for masonry paint but will have to wait cos I don’t want to pay £5 for postage! Can’t bloody wait to go the garden centre

I’m too scared to go the shops I went to the co-op today for the first time in 3 weeks and so many people got far too close to me. I feel like I need a poke stick to keep people away

I’ll give Aldi a go I think. Will go later in the day cos they seem to be a bit quieter then. My other half went to Costco a few nights ago and it was empty, queue was round the carpark few hours before! x
