Make sure you put your sunglasses on before viewing.

First the courtyard which was inspired by Gaudi after a trip to Barcelona, but also has a Morroccan influence after another trip to Marrakesh.



I think you have all met Ricky before at GWL. This is where he lives now

I love Moroccan design. Have been to North africa several times. Always wanted Tony to put some mosque arches on my wardrobes like you get in some hotels. Where in the world are you?. By looking at your garden you could be anywhere in North Africa. Post some more soon.
When I get old I don't want people thinking

                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

Brilliant. As you know I was also lucky enough to see some of the gardens you had worked on when we had a holiday last year on the Isle of Wight.

Wow wow wow, i didnt expect to see all of that  :o

I am well and truly gobsmacked.
You have done a fantastic job.

If you run out of space do you intend to start working on the rest of your street?  ;D

I was thinking that the cow had hailed from Manchester  ;D
Cant wait to see it wearing its finest selection of jewels  :)

Didn't expect that!
Am amazed, so beautiful, will look even more stunning in Summer with the light sunshine reflecting on the mosaics.
