Cheers for Chairs

Giant Chairs. What is the use of a giant chair? Too big to sit in, too big to fall asleep in , too big to fall off, too big to cuddle in. Giant chairs to provide perches for errant gulls and their indiscriminate deposits.Giant chairs in gawdy colours ,where kids fall through the cracks. Nah. Contrast. Portugal. Private hideaway .A hill.A view.A labour of love. A giant chair constructed of natural , selected, contorted aged lengths of timber. No paint.Just a carefully crafted chair.A throne.With knots and curves,twists and flats.Sitting quietly in the long whispering grass .Stately, comfortable and body enveloping. In memory of a mother .A plaque to explain.
