Take a look around my newly refurbished courtyard and kitchen garden...

I have had the most wonderful day today so I thought I would share it with you. It began with an early morning browse of a local garden centre where some new plants accidentally fell into my shopping basket.

I then spent 4 hours gardening, it was bliss. Just me and little Lexi out in the courtyard rearranging the pots and planting up new flowers.  (The black boards are for the children to draw on with chalks)

 I'm really keen on teaching the boys all about growing our own fruit and vegetables so we have a separate area for our little kitchen garden.

I decided to build up my own staged area using old bricks, I'm so pleased with how it turned out! We have all sorts growing now.

Next week the works begin on our conservatory, I'm so excited I cannot wait to have a new art studio space over looking the courtyard, I'm hoping to have a space for customers to enjoy a coffee and cake in there too.
