One of the reasons we decided to move was that our garden was far too large and needed a lot of upkeep. A smaller garden will be lovely, we thought, just enough for a bit of colour and some where to sit when it eventually stops raining but what a mess we inherited.
Above and below you can see the broken down fence , the untidy shrubs and the rotten decking.
But, we do have a sea view
The front steps were dangerously steep so they were turned around -
The finished result
That was in March – fast forward to May The new patio and new summer house / shed.
The potting area table made by our good friend Paul.
The gold fish pond
Fishes thriving in their home made from a water tank normally found in the roof.
Some Little gems found amongst the weeds some stunning roses
I also discovered two peonies, one right behind the shed. The photos are on the iPad so will have to post them later.
