                      IMHO think you need some red/purple leaves in there for a bit more colour. I'd suggest a red-leaved Acer but a more upright one so it doesn't take up too much space.

                        Hi Simon, you have a lovely looking garden and that outdoor furniture no doubt makes it a nice place to sit and have dinner on sunny days. Have you considered getting a gazebo for covering though in case it rains? Then you can stay outside still and be protected and keep the elements off that furniture too. I'll try to take some pictures on the weekend and upload them here. :)
