Are you referring to those on the rh side?

btw, EMM, does it take you a long time to refesh the web cam view each time? For me it takes about 5 times longer than the beach view. :?

Have not been down to the village today, so cannot comment on the "plant tubs", except they are in the same position as shown in one of the plans. Will pop down tomorrow and take a photo.

Getting interesting, metal barriers have been moved pushing the traffic more towards the CVO sol, GNR much in evidence as well.

Ellie will be pleased to see the little trees in the planters. I wonder what that tent is for? Anyone know?

I like the planters. Now all we need are a few benches on which to sit and watch the world go by. Does anyone know if any are planned? There is the beach wall, I suppose, but I'd rather have a proper seat for those times when using the bar isn't an option.
