Thanks Motinot. It's a wonderful spot for a morning cuppa and for late breakfasts right now. We're usually surrounded by butterflies, birds and bees while we're out there.

Loving all your pics you have a few more pots then me!!! I hope you have an automatic watering system or is that called Bernie!! We are enjoying hot weather right now which is great after all the rain. Breakfast time sounds delightful there :o)

Lol, yes Neellan the automatic watering system for the courtyard and the shadehouse is most definitely called Bernie! While we do have a watering system for the other large garden beds, it doesn't get used too often. Our water bill would be enormous if we did turn it on more than a few times every year.

I'm quite good now at putting together waterwise containers, but I do so love hosing the plants when I get home from a long day's work. There's nothing quite so relaxing.

I had heard the weather had turned a little warm over your way. We of course are heading into our winter, but that's probably similar to your early summer conditions. Chilly for us though!

Thought that might be the case!! We of course have a hose pipe ban in some parts of the country despite all the rain - practically for the whole of April !

So this week of really hot weather is lovely - we have to make the most of it - it is probably our total summer lol

I'll have to finish looking at your mammoth up load of super pics tomorrow as it is way past my bedtime :o)

We haven't had hose bans for a couple of years now, but we still can't use garden sprinklers every day because we're on Level 1 watering restrictions. I don't use sprinklers ever any more because it would tip our water bill over too much. Fingers crossed your warm weather stays around a little bit longer and you get to enjoy the outdoors for a couple more weeks. Night Neellan. It's 10.00 am on a dreary overcast rather cool (for us) Sunday morning here, and definitely time for my mid-morning cuppa!

Hope you had a nice day, sun still shining here!!
