Cleaning was required first. A couple of hours. Steel wool, bleach, water. Lucy and Fu helped – sort of. You can see how much Fu got into it – with her face. Lucy preferred a supervisory role.
But then, the afternoon sun spilled on and we rested there, faces tilted towards its warmth.
There was stitching. Smoochy dog. Dirty Dog. Cups of tea. Soundtrack provided by the plain little bird with the beautiful voice, spotted surveying his territory from the kitchen chimney.
Now the swing has it’s own quilted cushion. And we have somewhere sweet to soak up these lovely warm days in the back garden.

Sunshine and industry! The swing looks great!
What a wonderful find, I am sure you will all enjoy using this beautiful old swing.
Spotlight will probably have something to make a canopy , that will withstand the weather,and any cushions,quilts etc can to and fro inside.
I too have a screamer next door,( 8 year old child cops it) I just turned up the kitchen radio in response to the increasing volume, it only took 3 days for the message to get through,she is more thoughtful now,(the houses are REALLY close together)
