Garden transformation

Do you have a "before" photo, Eyren, please?

Sure! It's pretty horrific - the old conservatory was totally overgrown with ivy 

   

I'll try and remember to take a photo from this same angle later this spring, once we've replaced the old raised beds as well.

Although I've said I'm going for a Victorian vibe with the paint colour, the late 80s pseudo-Victorian craze has a lot to answer for. It's take the best part of twenty years (and a shedload of money) to get rid of all the faux mahogany and other dark decor - so gloomy in a tiny modern house - and we're still not finished!
