I had seen that chair at a garden centre and it was expensive. Mr Practical and I decided at that time we wouldn't buy it.<BR/>By the end of the bad week I had just about had enough. Mr Practical came home and said look on the drive. Low and behold there was the seat. It didn't change the situation at the time but it lifted my heart.<BR/>Its made from an old tree that was dying. The roots are the backof the seat and the legs are carved from the trunk.
