| Can it be said any better... Thank You Is & Mr Palatial for making my 'Mummy's Day' xxx |
 |
| happy mother's day x My Mum, Me & Isabelle x The 3 of Us x 13 May 2012 |
 |
| rustic fair - warm Autumn desert - raspberry & strawberry tart |
 |
| Not only did the dappled light first catch my eye but the perspective and finish of the bricked path and feathered grassed edging. Just like walking through a natural cathedral.... |
 |
| The idea of providing seating around a tree in a courtyard makes this tree look like a natural umbrella framing the above space over head of the seated... it makes it feel more intimate and cosy... the lace like leave of Japanese maples would be perfect for this affect. Here the base of the tree trunk has been 'pleached' [where lower branches & leaves removed'] to create a smooth effect and easy seating space underneath the upper branches. |
 |
| I love the concept of limestone or sandone dry-stone walls... Mr Palatial and I recently watched a program on how to make your own 'dry-stone' wall and yep - you guessed it that's one on the list for the front yard of our home! |

AFTER - plenty of beautiful firewood ready
for the cooler evenings. |
 |
|
AFTER - GONE! Old Hills hoist in the centre - Post tree trunk &
stump...
to the turpentine trees [the sentinels of the yard] & Japanese
Maple. clear view to the rear of the yard Now more access and light for the remaining plants |
 |
|
AFTER - remnants of the trunk piled up to cut down further and to
mark out space for the vegetable terrace behind the garage [northern-western light all day] and Isabelle's cubby house! |
