Busy on my new project..

32 comments


Phew, ive never stopped the last 3 weeks in the garden, ive jetwashed, treat the decking, painted the shed, fencing etc, at the weekend we decided to put up the awning i got for xmas, im not fussed on the colour but as i got it quite cheap from ebay i bought it anyway, apparently its quite easy to change the material, its about £40 to replace and i fancy a plain red..

yellow and grey!

We also got out the new table and chairs and planters etc

It still looks bare as its to soon to bring stuff out the greenhouse, I love it, its like sitting in another room, these pics dont do it justice as its a bit dull out there..

OH yes! Oh that's lovely, you've made a brilliant job of it. Is the conservatory next door's YDD, or another part of your garden? I love it. The stripes are very fashionable at the mo. and wouldn't they look great with some potted sunflowers underneath? :)))) Smashing.
