The house we are in has landscaped gardens, very easy to look after.
We have an outer room/porch off the back of the house that has a roof and slatted walls to shelter from the weather.
We have had a lovely time discovering new plant nusery's and buying new pots and plants.
My wooden cats and a few other treasures now have a place to live, we spend a lot of time here chatting while having coffee.
