Some of you may know that we moved into our new-to-us home earlier this year. It needs an extension, a loft conversion, a garage conversion, and a complete overhaul in almost all other respects. You could say there weren’t many selling points, other than the potential, but there is one little corner of the house that had me mentally moved in before I’d even seen the rest of it. Admittedly you still have to use your imagination a little though! Picture a string of bulb lights zigzagging across the top, lots more lush green plants, moroccan tiles and after dinner drinks on a warm summer’s evening.
This is my special little courtyard, and this month I started work on the “lots of lush green plants” part of the project (please excuse the muddy mess I made potting up the plants)!
If you know me at all you know I don’t have much success when it comes to keep plants alive. I choose them primarily for their photogenic qualities, not their tolerance for living in a small pot, so that probably doesn’t bode well for their long-term future. But hey, I’m doing to do my best, because when I get 30 minutes alone time with one of these pots, I am happy.
Thank you for joining me again this month, especially if you made it all the way down here! Up next in the blog circle is the incredible Caroline Liabot Photography.

Your details and colors always amaze me. This is a beautiful post!
Ceri you always inspire me with your images. I love your little courtyard and yes I could definitely imagine it with string lights and some music playing in the background, perhaps some Irish Coffees. You got me thinking 🙂 You know that I love your abstract images. I love how you capture them and I could look at them all day. Thank you for sharing them.
You always amaze me with your talent. Such beautiful images – the colors, patterns and textures are stunning. I can totally see that potential in your little courtyard too. You need to find a way to hang a few of those Rattan egg shaped chairs in there. Once you do, I’m booking a flight to “Holiday”with my coffee and a good book.
