Having ignored the garden last year, save for a party or two, we picked up some very lovely garden furniture at Katherine House depot the other day (£30 for something we calculate would have costs us closer to £200) and since our little table and chairs set from Wilkos a few years ago wasn't really big enough to eat from we snapped it up.
We then went to Homebase to buy some teak oil and further then saw some lovely pots that would bring colour to the garden (and a parasol, and some plants, and some paint for the shed ... we shouldn't be allowed into Homebase)
We've also done a bit of tidying up in the front garden, planted some summer bulbs which will hopefully bring a little bit of colour.
It's all looking much tidier, and just for once the inside isn't looking too bad either.
