Mini's installed an arch over the steps, as part of an attempt to make the patio area feel a little more separate from the rest of the garden.
At some stage, I'd like to string some lanterns across from the sides of the arch to the sides of the garden, making a PARTY PATIO!
There's already a clematis and some sweet peas planted next to the arch in the hope of getting plenty of flowers on it later in the year.
In the background you can just see that the Japanese Maple is starting to come out in beautiful copper coloured leaves.
