Bathrooms can have baths in them BoiledEggInADeckchair. That is a hand basin which is like a swimming pool to you!

It should be called a swimming-pool-in-a-shed should'nt it.

It should be called a hand-basin-in-a-log-cabin with two hiding toilets, BoiledEggInADeckchair! In another word a "bathroom".

That's NOT funny Egghead! You know we have to do our bit to save water and the environment ...;)

Then don't take showers everyday, to save water and don't shower or bathe at all, just dip and pour like we did when we were young, except we dipped and pour two times a day or even more. We lived in the tropics and perspired a lot and we had no airconditioning so we were always taking showers or playing with water or washing. People are very wasteful everywhere. Everything is disposable, they don't fix things anymore - cheap, easily breaks, Made in China and fills up the land.

If a garden has a windmill, is it then a dutch garden automatically?

You might work it out by the end of the series Simon :) Than again you might not!

Hhehee, no it isn't Chrome3D! I didn't agree with the plants and style they chose for the Australian Garden either!

You should see Austrian gardens and then make a judgement. Once I saw one with many many garden gnomes sitting spread around in the whole garden accompanied by all kinds of kitschy animals (bambies, little lambs, ...) *Igitt*

Oh HAHA! I've seen similar gardens mostly way up North in Queensland, Maria! Gnomes, donkeys and flamingos amongst cacti, frangipanis and palms! I once had a boyfriend who had the vocation of taking gnomes on holidays from one person's garden to another! Hhehee :)

Maria said...

HAHA plem plem!
Really funny, isn't it! On vacation!!! HAHAHA!

Hhehheee :) It was actually all very serious business Maria! There were calenders, maps, and gnomes had to be named so they didn't get mixed up. Gnomes only returned to their own homes for Christmas and often with a gift, like a fishing rod etc. HAHHAA :)

Maria said...

A fishing rod for the swimming pool!

Hehehe... I'm speechless!
But I have made a picture of a garden in Austria where something like that seems imaginable.

Sorry, my left and right brain hemispheres are slightly revolving... :o|

Anon dated a wild man?

cool gardens, love the second shot--and all of them.

Your revolving brain might have to do with us being in a South American, Mediterranian and Dutch garden all at the same time Maria. HAHA :)

Hhheeee, it was all very civilised Ces! Apart from how wild it is stalking gnomes in backyards in the middle of the night ;) I seem to remember a story in the paper about someone's gnome returning home for Christmas one year. They became famous! HAHA

Hhee, thanks Mary Stebbins Taitt. That's the bathroom!
