Patio for my Precious

Probably to do with a few weeks in the South of France, but, on returning, my beloved had a bit of a (justified) meltdown about the view from our patio doors which consisted of a pile of rubbish left over from tiling the kitchen floor, general rubble and more bindweed than you can possibly imagine.

So, although we have a zillion other priorities, I agreed to get someone in to do the patio, in the vain hope we might actually have an indian summer and a bit of sunshine that we can sit out there and enjoy. Somewhat inspired by Auntie Vikkis garden path, and the general theme of recycling that grows stronger as the dream of sticking to any sort of budget fades into the distance, we decided to reuse what slabs, bricks and tiles we had left over and laying around the garden to create a patchwork patio.  I say "we"... actually a nice chap called Mike.

Its not finished yet but there's enough there to get a table and chairs and a beverage out!
