Ooh! That's a good one! I cheated this year and let a privet forest grow outside our sunniest window: which was fantastic in the hot weather, but I am having a hard time killing it and digging it out in time to plant some clumping bamboo before next summer ;-)
Parasols! They make life better! I started with one about 10 years ago, and now I have a collection. People stop me in the street to chat about them and little girls grin as they realise they can get away with far wackier behaviour as adults than they were expecting. Around here, they're quite commonplace now. I like to think that I was a part of setting the trend, along with all the Chinese grandmothers ;-)
