Much light is coming through all those windows, which is nice in the winter! Living in CA and having had a banana tree, makes me never want to have one again LOL we took out the roots 3 times and still are coming back, they plant itself forth like weeds, and they grow very tall - when they were 12 feet tall I urged my hubby to take them out. before they would take over the whole yard!<br />I was smiling when you talked about the art of the different countries you have been - the more you travel, the more that becomes a problem (a nice problem). Past few times I've reverted to buying food and kitchen items that we'll at least use:) Good to have you blogging again!Jeannette StGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07951617490107614687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-83921286033344576472009-08-17T20:35:09.818+01:002009-08-17T20:35:09.818+01:00La Tea Dah - Thanks for the nice comments, The woo...La Tea Dah - Thanks for the nice comments, The woodwork ages nicely, getting that lovely honey glow. The travel theme is incidental as we have to put our stuff on display somehow, and there is a lot more still in trunks, which is a pity. We need a bigger extension! (thanks for the comments on Facebook too, I like your photos!)<br />CatherineCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-75767577054934336402009-08-17T20:33:10.116+01:002009-08-17T20:33:10.116+01:00Irene - Thanks for your comments, it is a nice spa...Irene - Thanks for your comments, it is a nice space, and we are lucky to have the garden too. We have a small ficus benjamina in the sunroom which has flourished since repotting it and moving it from a darker windowsill some years ago. It is now about a metre high and densely leafy. I keep turning it around so it doesn't get wonky, most plants seem to grow towards the light I think. Even the banana has to be rotated every few weeks to prevent it from toppling over! <br />Keep on dropping by!<br />CatherineCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-64278115071048398282009-08-15T21:55:22.386+01:002009-08-15T21:55:22.386+01:00What a lovely living space!

Alas, I do not. I do have a fig plant indoors that's very successful in a kind of screwy way in that it grows toward the light only, making it a funny looking plant. It was nice to see your sun room, what a nice place to be.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.com
