Also, as Dave Pie-n-Mash said, front porches are small in the UK.Pathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04587300140099806425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-43152807513640841272009-06-23T21:59:20.220-05:002009-06-23T21:59:20.220-05:00I remember my mother saying she would love to have a porch swing.

Being a porch monkey is a completely underrated pasttime. <br /><br />I tried explaining to someone once that porches in the UK are not what they are here and in fact will typically be about 6ft square and simply cover the front door area. The retort was: Whats the point of having one like that? The truth is, I don&#39;t know... all I know is Im not giving up the porch I have now!Dave Pie-n-Mashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13450179478115153072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-5284329965613681732009-06-23T15:45:35.868-05:002009-06-23T15:45:35.868-05:00i love porches AND their swings.

Our front porch faces west also, and we need to put some roll-up blinds out there to help with the setting sun. There is just a bench on the porch right now, but hopefully by next summer I can get us a nice porch swing.<br /><br />Glad to see you back!

We bought it at a garage sale for $20, and one arm was all chewed - the previous owners had had a big dog. So Husband took the slats off, and promised to replace them. But it hasn&#39;t quite happened yet.Iotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-9149108697287311332009-06-23T09:43:11.906-05:002009-06-23T09:43:11.906-05:00I love gliders .. perhaps even more than standard porch swings ...

Where I live, it pretty much has to be on the east of the house or swinging in the summer evenings (before sundown) would bake you.
