The middle ...
New step courtesy of a couple of railway sleepers. Eeeasy peasy!! (Unless you want to talk about said railway sleepers causing the trailer to flip while we were going around the corner on a busy road at a busier intersection, buggering the trailer somewhat and requiring us to try and fit said sleepers into the back of a station wagon to get them home, in which case, not so easy peasy at all)
The end ...
Hanging baskets of rosemary.

And the lavender, because we do have a special place in our hearts for lavender (plus I'm practising taking better photos). There's a special place in our tummies too, as it happens. Cuinn's always been a fan, for reasons known only to him, and he even ate the lavender cutting I'd taken from another bush in the garden on the way to the garden centre, then spent the rest of the way there affirming to us 'nom nom nom!'

Gosh what a huge difference! The house looks so much lighter and more homely than it did in the first picture. Well done to you all!
have you completely replaced all the wood on the deck and the porch supports? it looks really new...
Mel - Thanks! We dropped a couple of trees (one was near falling down, and the others just really needed to go) which warmed things up no end, and is giving grass etc a chance to grow :-)
Mel A - We just water blasted it (it changed colour completely when we did that!) then oiled it with decking oil - it looks so much warmer, and feels completely different to walk on!
I need to come visittttttttttt.
Wow, you guys have done a fab job!
Bet the previous owners wouldn't recognise it now.
