Thought I had added this pic, but didn't.

Here it is with it's winter rope light right up to wrapping the spears. I'm hoping for a milder winter, but will be re-covering the parasol this weekend just in case we get snow events :wink:

They were only switched on the warm the rope making it easier to bend. Not been on again since the pic was taken. :lol:
