Jezz and I decide to spend what little money we have and redo the garden. It’s out with the centrepiece (that Debs always said looked like a grave – lol) and the grass area is going. The new garden will have a calming ‘Zen’ theme and involve a gravel area, lit by 6 Chinese lanterns, displaying a mains-powered water feature, some sleeper stone pavings as stepping stones lit by solar-powered glow balls. At the house end of the garden, all plastic pots are going and being replaced with composite decking, a fire pit and a 9ft cantilever parasol.

The Water Feature

Here’s the water feature in the centre of the gravelled area. Jezz add a multicoloured light meant for underwater use.

A Quick Tour

Here’s a short walk around of what has happened so far.
