The birds eye view, while I was hanging out the toilet window

my neighbours all shouted up "Hello/afternoon" as if it was normal - maybe I'm madder than I thought.
Yes DM the idea is not to get soggy feet, and lack of grass means extra time for messing about with plants.
Its pretty much right for me, but I will be changing some of it
The dogs, do not get soggy feet nor did the nieces and nephews

the size and slabbed areas are big enough to put the ping pong table up where the car is, or move the table down to where the car is and put the ping pong table up there, you have space for a BQ

and the gravel in the centre on the left is perfect for sitting/chillin.
And still have space to sit under the pergoda type thing, while activities go on around you be it BQ's table tennis, basket ball, games of cards (especialy cribbage) chess/dominoes, with the little ones chalking to their hearts content or "travel throught the jungle" and find the hidden treasure (normaly provided/and hidden by an over indulgent Aunt) Alos with the paving being level its great for little ones bike/tractor riding round. Plus the sand pit comes out hey presto a children's playground.
