Well my grant money finally came through and I have spent it on doing up the rear garden. We have used artificial grass (or a grass carpet as my kids call it) so the kids can go out all year.
The playhouse is carpeted and contains blankets and things for den making, a box of books on gardening and animals, magnifying glasses, bug catchers, pens and note books. Then the canes Down the left side are for tomatoes, cucumber and peas and to the right we are having 3 long thin planters made against the fence to grow our veg in. There is some willow trellis to be fixed to the railings out side the front of the play house for the children to weave materials though. I also have 8 out door scatter cushions on order to go with the beanbags and a large outdoor mirror which I will fix to the wall to the right of the table.
Just need to tidy up a bit on the concrete area where the sandpit and water tray is (the wood is for the planters and the wheelbarrow and lader need to go back to my dad) then that area just needs the kids to put their mark on it with some more pictures on the fence etc.

The kids love it and keep taking their shoes of to go on the 'carpet', it is so nice to play on, they have even taken the dolls house out side to play with. I now no longer mind them taking any toys from inside out as they are not going to get all muddy and ruined.
