The Perfect Setting for a Lazy Afternoon

Many lazy afternoons have been spent here, reading a novel, perusing the newspaper or just snoozing. Open a chilled bottle of rosé and while away a few contented hours, sitting in the dappled sunlight that filters through the cork oak trees.

By the way, the yucca tree (centre left) started off as a 30 centimetre tall specimen, transplanted in 1998 from a pot that was bought in a British supermarket some ten years earlier. It has now shot up to 2.5 metres in height and is still growing fast - it thinks it's on holiday!, which of course, it is.
