Our courtyard is a long way off from being cosy – but these spots have me dreaming of my next courtyard purchase!

Akasha Mountain Retreat
Exactly a year later – I had the privilege of staying at the most magical place in the world, once again, Akasha Mountain Retreat. (Read my previous reviews here with loads more pics!)
A year later, it feels as new and as magical! A place to switch off, unwind and recharge! A self catering retreat with 3 bedrooms & 1 outside room with kitchenette.
A new addition since we were last there, the trampoline.
Work up an appetite with a steep walk down to the river & back or just chill out by the fire!

The perfect getaway to relax & reconnect, or have a rip roaring party on that magnificent Moroccan terrace under the stars! 🙂 (For more information visit Akasha Mountain Retreat on Facebook Here or e-mail xx
Tolix Bar Stools
Yay, pool party time! Got these great bar stools from Robert Thomson – check them out here in a selection of fabulous colours, and they’re on sale.
Patio before & after
When we moved into our house we pulled out all the bamboo reeds from the patio roof as they were a little worse for ware, and screeded the patio which was bricked before. So I was very excited to do a very over-due, refresh of our patio recently.
BEFORE:
Sticks from The Pole Yard are slotted in.
Then I rescue two old Mr Price lanterns from our wedding and get busy! I’ve sprayed them in Plascon Perfect Finish Gloss White. I used 3 cans for the 2 lanters. I could have probably used less but I did spray them in the wind. ( Stupid but you know the feeling when you want something done NOW!)
AFTER:
And Voilà! Simple, yet effective.
