This afternoon was a time for sitting and enjoying the weather, and the light was beautiful.
This is a sight you're all used to seeing - the little paved area with the fountain in the background. But the view in the opposite direction takes some getting used to:
I added in the paving slabs yesterday (like the ones next to the fountain, they are from my parents' garden, so will come with us when we eventually move house). It makes walking through the garden in my slippers a bit easier first thing in the morning. We've finally got to the stage where it is warm enough to regularly eat breakfast outside, so slipper-clad perambulation is an important consideration.

Summer has finally descended upon us! The garden's looking lovely and the seating areas looks so inviting :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so cool and inviting. You've done such an amazing job with what lots of people might regard as a rather unpromising patch.
ReplyDeleteI love spending the early morning in the garden - but it's bloody difficult to tear yourself away and go to work.
Thanks both! I'm most impressed that it only took about £150 investment to completely renovate this bit, including the bench and parasol. Gravel is clearly the way to go!
