For as long as I can remember, I have always loved a good verandah. Preferably deep, cool verandah with lots of ferns, palms and well-loved cane.
Whenever I find myself in one of those nasty situations, the ones where you're meant to close your eyes and imagine a beautiful, calm place to alleviate physical or emotional discomfort (think dentist's chair; stuck in traffic; anything to do with hospitals or long-haul economy travel), I try to dream myself into a relaxing space like this. Ideally in a hammock.
When I successfully made it through my fourth Glaswegian winter, many moons ago, I promised myself that one day I would have a sunny, green verandah to sit on. Now I like it shady.

ReplyDeleteLove potted bouganvillea too....
Just finished looking through the rest of your delightful blog and I had to comment on this fairytale verandah. It is my dream/escape kind of place too! We used to have a semi-tropical garden in Africa and I really miss it now that we live in Australia. It is lovely to see that some parts of Australia do have gardens like 'home'! God bless x
ReplyDeleteThis looks pretty attractive! I believe that it is important to have not just a verandah itself, it must be given emphasis to make it extra appealing. Verandah is just as important as you're giving your visitors a good impression about your home.
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say love this verandah!
