patio

I bet its lovely and cool there during the summer,

yes it is and we need it as we dont have any other shade just yet

Thanks for putting this picture on line, it is just what I have been looking for. I have had a similar idea to yhis and I can show this picture to my husband, to show him how I would like a corner in our back garden. We live in a housing assocation ground floor flat. I have gardens back, front and side but I do not have a back door so you havr to walk around the building to get to my back garden. As a result we mainly use the front garden for sitting. I would love an area like yours for the summer when it is too hot to sit in the front, also using it as you have for eating. So thanks again you have been a great help.

i am really chuffed you found some ideas here Lemondog, as so far i seem to have been the one needing other people's gardens to get me going
thats so much what gardening is about for me, just a hint of inspiration somewhere and i am off...
maybe you could post a picture of your back garden corner when its done...?

What a lovely porch/patio area....it looks so calm and inviting, Resi...I can imagine you sitting at the table enjoying your meal or a glass of wine :)

Absolutely fantastic . . the woodwork, the plants, the view . . .

thanks Muddy for all your kind and encouraging comments
