A Rooftop Refreshment


Black and white: alluring opposites, a dynamic duo.
Both beautiful, they boldly cover my wardrobe, sparingly
 dot my decorating, but never represent my thinking,



as most topics of conversation, opinions, attitudes,
 and beliefs, fall somewhere in between, for me. Life is not
black and white; if anything, it's filled with vibrant colour!


 And so, we come to the subject of this black bistro set, 
that crossed the Atlantic in a container from Canada,
along with several antiques, and second hand gems,
many years ago.  In its prime, it was quite pretty,


  but, due to the negligent behaviour of its occupants, 
(the guilty yours truly and hubby), having literally, been left out 
in the cold, and clearly, not rejuvenated by the rain,
 its brilliant, black radiance was unfortunately, 
 (but not intentionally),  reduced to a corroded, rusty malady.


It was time for a much needed makeover. Two coats
of creamy white for metallics were sprayed on, and,


like magic, the weary, wrought iron trio 
morphed into a lovely and lustrous place of leisure;


 a rooftop refreshment, with which to peruse



 the picturesque and panoramic 'Poppy Views'.


Thanks for visiting and
have a wonderful week!
