Advantages: looks ok Disadvantages: frost might smash it
I have a couple of these terracotta pots from B&Q .They cost Ł1.50p each and I think this a reasonable price .fair price.
I have had mine identical to the ones pictured for a few years now. I have some pelargonium in mine at the moment. In the spring I had some daffodils planted in one of them. I use these terracotta pots both outside on the patio and in the conservatory. I have been known to use them to hold a rustic garden display in the house too.

Advantages: well, you get tanned Disadvantages: you might end up looking like the Terracotta chinese army
that resembles a certain group midgets from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (hint hint? think Umpa Lumpas). I was then forced to experiment with bronzing powders though I feared irregular tan lines along my face.
Before I begin describing the product, I must comment that the choice of name was not very wise. I am not very compelled to buy a beauty product that carries 'terracotta' (ceramic) anywhere along its name as it brings terrible memories of history class and the terracotta army of the Chinese emperor (and not, I do not want to resemble a sculpture). Putting this aside, the product actually proved itself wonderful. The color number ten is a bit dark, but if mixed with right palette produces a healthy tan look. The essence of this powder is to accentuate the tan slightly visible in the skin, so it will obviously tan accordingly to ...
Advantages: The terra-cotta warriors, the city wall around Xi'an itself Disadvantages: Cabs like to use fixed price, people don't speak English
A short summary
This is a travelogue about the trip that my wife, Nikki, and I took to China (Beijing, Xi?an and Hong Kong) in the period from March 15th to March 29th 2003. We first spent 7 days in Beijing and we got to see the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace and so on. From Beijing we took an overnight train to Xi?an and our main goal there was to see the Terra-Cotta Warriors but we also got to see a few other things. And from Xi?an we flew to the city of Shenzhen and from there we took the boat to Hong Kong (HK), where we stayed for about 5 days. In HK we visited Ocean Park, Victoria Peak, the Space Museum and so on.
We first stayed in Beijing for a few days (see seperate review). But time went fast in Beijing and all of a sudden we had reached Saturday March 22nd. We had decided to take ...
