do with the rope from a gorilla cage? I ask you?
It was obvious to me, wind it through the railings... naturally!
Contently I beavered away intent on my task little knowing that I was being watched. The rope I ought to say probably hadn’t had so much attention since leaving the gorilla family.
Last night we went out for a meal. It is still a novelty to walk to so many lovely restaurants. Part of the reason for moving to Hythe... to walk and we do! We got chatting to a couple on the next table, they asked where we lived and she instantly said
‘I thought I recognised you,
what were you doing with that huge rope, we couldn’t work it out?’
They went on to say they had seen the big yellow bag and were intrigued as to the length of time it had been there, major work obviously!
Me, being me suggested next time they call in. Well I do have
previous: man despairs of me inviting the world and his wife in for tea. It’s what I do, why should I change?
Can you see the rope?
The jury is still out as to whether it will stay and of course the man being a killjoy did say ‘Well it will have to come out when I paint the railings!’
Little does he know the job I had,
I plan to be out that day!?!
The rope looks great ! ( I would come for tea if I didn't live so far away )

Gorilla cage rope? Where's the animal now? Gone for a stroll along the prom?
ReplyDeleteWhy twine it around the railings? A wind break at lower level?
I'm still trying to work out this 'gorilla' reference … you're having us on!

Would I do that Margaret? It is genuine. Given to me by our builder, he, like me has a penchant for the odd and unusual. He, I assume got it from Lympne zoo? My thinking as you say, is to act as a windbreak.
ReplyDeleteMy problem is as always, the fine line I tread between quirky and naff!

I like it! -Kate
ReplyDeleteWhether it goes back after the railings are painted... who knows? It was quite a job threading it through, glad you like it. I am now looking for jungly plants that can tolerate the sea air... then onto the back garden which I plan to turn into my secret garden. Coming from a very tucked out of the way cottage I do feel very exposed back and front... if you get my meaning!?!

Where has the rope gone? It's not there any more! You didn't take it with you to Ludlow, did you?
ReplyDeleteIt is mind boggling the stuff you bring home, no wonder your back is not happy with you!...Hugs.
You been lurking about on Google earth Moni? The gorilla rope is on the back wall behind the garden room here in Ludlow. Well it was the last time I looked...

OMG!... Ludlow watch out, the bag lady is in town...hold on to your possessions.
DeleteYou're right, Google Earth is the only way for me to travel....
Husband's street patchwork still looking great!
