    I used these pics to test if I could upload pics. It worked so I've moved them here to the project forum. It is mainly somewhere for my good lady to sit with her kindle. When we have a bit of sun that is :SUNsmile: The slabs are from the reclamation yard and I thought they were a nice warm colour. I cut and moved the slabs to create a more interesting shape overall but also so I could plant thyme e.t.c. in the spaces left between them along with gravel with gravel.
    Next step is to put a simple pergola over it. As the patio is a diamond shape looking from the house, the pergola will be a square. If that makes sense ? Picture a 6 pointed star. Then just a couple of climbers to add some vertical colour.
