...and tools...
Now for the rest of the patio.... and yet more choices - what colour slabs, or perhaps gravel, and maybe a bit more brick mixed in? The lawn will also come up to the back of the wall and a herb garden planted behind the seat. This has turned out beautifully - the area was dug out when we lowered the inside of the house, so we've now got this lovely sunken courtyard. It is a delight to see what happens day by day. It's definitely a case of making things up as we go along.
