    Love seeing everyone's garden I painted the underside off my decking today so it will be ready to go down as soon as oh is ready. Hopefully this week. It's going to have a roof to so can't wait as I will be able to be outside in all weathers and I don't have to worry about crawlers clothes on concrete.

    That's next of my wish list!! Just need to convince DH, he hates decking for some reason!!! I have a large slabbed patio area, but as you say its not ideal for crawlers and if I put a rug down they just crawl off it!!

    What are you going to use for the roof? I would love to cover mine if I ever get it, but as it would be directly below our bedroom window I am worried about it being noisy when it rains especially for dh who although he could sleep through an earthquake would be bound to hear it !!!

    Does your garden furniture live outside the whole year round and do you cover it?

    I must admit we just leave it out during the winter and power wash it in the spring, but this year i have bought some covers for it.

    Table/ seating area at the bottom of the garden.

    Bench and opening to under the willow.

    Opening under the willow.

    Space under the willow where the. Little ones can explore. Aiming to put something interesting in the 'natural camp' that it creates. Just still stuck for ideas. Might do something with water but obviously that would have to use the wall to keep it safe.

    your garden looks lovely! could you put small tree trunks in amongst the willow area to use as small seats? I got some from the local saw mill for about £2.

    Makeshift water play area. Needs filling at the minute as i just cleaned it. Two draws below store toys( boats, sea creatures) in one and measuring ( jugs, cylinders) in the other. Need to put some work into creating the waterwall. The recent wind blew everything down. I've learnt drawing pins aren't good in strong wind
