Is does look lovely in the garden, doesn't it? I've always wanted to have an Adirondack chair (in Canada they call them Muskoka chairs) but I've never had the money or been in the right place to get one. Last spring I saw some at RHS Wisley but they wanted £450 per chair. Admittedly they are made from cedar which doesn't need that much upkeep. However, I couldn't afford even one. So, when I went into the Futon Store in Staines yesterday and saw one and it was only £79, I bought two. I know it was extravagant even at that price, but it was now or never (at least that's how I felt). I am now the proud owner of two Adirondack chairs made in China of ash. It's not cedar and they weren't made in Canada but they will remind me of being at the cottage whenever I sit in them.
This summer our living room furniture is moving to Washington D.C. with the owners of our house. At that point, the chairs may come indoors to give us somewhere to sit until we decide what we want to buy. I'm looking forward to having them there as well.
The weather has been glorious today in our part of southern England. It might almost be Ontario in the summer (but not has hot!).

So that's how you spell adirondak. Growing up I always thought they were chairs from Outer Rondak. I never could figure out where that was....
