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..

Scottish, funny you should say that, ive been looking for (on ebay) macarame (sp) hanging baskets and i thought these have the same look, sort of :)))
PoppyL i can't capture the feel of this outdoor room with the camera, i just love it, it will look amazing in summer with flowers and lots more plants..

Just makes me think 'Colonial' ... love it! ... Your square planters look brilliant ... Well done on all your hard work, Ydd, think of those hot Summer days to be spent sitting out ... :o)

Those macramé basket thingies....gosh there's a memory. I think it was the only 'craft' I ever learned to do at school!
It's dead easy....could you not give it a try?
20 Mar, 2012

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. I'm just going to pop down now for a glass of red if that's ok...only a couple of hours or so..... ;))
