Happy Birthday, Boatbuilder! Hope you have a thoroughly Blytonian day! :-D

Thanks Julie and Rob.

If painting my summerhouse is classed as 'Blytonian' Rob, then it sure will be. I remember Kit in 'The Boy Next Door' showing the other children how to apply white paint on the houseboat, and that is the colour I'll be using today :D

Maybe you'll find a long-lost box of treasure under one of the seats, or hidden inside the wall panels. You never know! :lol:

Or maybe a box with a secret compartment containing a treasure map, like in The Treasure Hunters? :D Don't go showing it to Mr Potts though...

It so happens I have only had the summerhouse for two weeks and I watched it being erected. Unfortunately there was no evidence of any secret panels or compartments and the seats, etc., that I put in it were all brand new. :(
