Pig in a poke

We (Bernadette actually) bought a used homemade gazebo with seating and a table (I paid for it actually) on eBay. Getting it back from Bristol was a slightly fraught experience (they said it would fit in the back of a hatchback- ha!).
I think we (I) paid too much for it.
I felt we had bought a big pile of kindling.
But after a day’s graft it is actually looking quite nice. And the neighbours like it (always important).
