I'm still set on doing up my garden, even if the early summer weather has been on the blink a little bit in recent weeks!

I just really want to make my abandoned backyard into something I can actually enjoy. Some days you just don't feel like going out anywhere, but it'd be great to relax in the sun in your own garden space.

We've managed to de-weed the whole yard and are putting in some flower beds, and I've been Internet shopping for a few bits!

I finally decided on a water feature, and I've got some metal garden furniture and a parasol on order, so we've got to get the garden ready before it all arrives next week!

Then I can dig out the barbecue, grill up some vegetable kebabs and sit in the sun with a glass of wine and a book. Bliss!
