Wishlist For a Summer Garden Makeover

When we moved into our house last summer, we planned on spending so much time outside now that we have a garden, but somehow with all the things going on inside the house that needed fixing, it never quite happened. This year however I am determined to tame back the greenery and make it a really nice place to sit out, read and enjoy a cold beverage.

When it comes to all things interior I have a pretty good idea of what I want, however when it comes to the garden, I'm a little lost. I thought I'd put together a little wish list of things I'd love for the garden to make it an enjoyable place to sit and enjoy the summer sun, however little we get in the UK!

Christmas at Chatsworth House.

Yesterday Nick and I took a little drive to Chatsworth House, we'd been here before and loved it and always heard good things about the themes they run each Christmas. We were planning on going last year but somehow never got around to it, so this year it was something I made sure we did. 

The theme this year is Wind in the Willows, a book about woodland creatures and the famous Mr.Toad, I won't go into details, although I'm sure some of you remember it from your childhood. So although the theme wasn't amazing it was still cool and we booked tickets to go.
