Autumn has reached the UK and we will soon be forced to pack away the garden furniture until next spring.

Of course the climate in Florida is very different and the state’s lucky residents enjoy year-round sunshine. So if you were the lucky owner of  919 N Riverhills Drive, Temple Terrace in Tampa Bay you could relax in the hammock, strung across the new renovated gazebo, any time you liked!
