NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS FOR THE GARDEN

Our garden is of great importance this year
as we have a  lot happening !
0ur son is 40 in March, no fuss for Kyle he just wants a family B.B.Q.
So the garden is the start of our New Years Resolutions

My hubby and l have a very special anniversary coming in October
We have decided to have an open day in our garden, from 10 am, until 4 pm
As we have lived here practically all our lives, and  know so many people, and have so many relations, l think, that will be the easiest way. Just eat, drink and be merry all day.

Then on November 24th, our son Jody is marrying his lovely Sonia, the garden has to look great for that special day
No 1,  This is a strange photo, it looks as if it only has 1 wall !

A new roof is needed, definitely a new thatch job.
The magpie bird fell through it last week

2 - This section with the pink seat will look very different.
A large mosaic will be across the back fence (hopefully) in pale pink pastel colours, not my usual bright colours.

3 - And the white bed heads above, my husband will be turning into seats to put there.
This red seat is an easy one. It will be painted a dark aqua to go in the pool beachy area.

 My 2 window boxes will be mosaic'd with shells l have collected
l found this wooden table at a garage sale, the ceramic top fitted perfectly over the top.
l had the tiles left over from the patio we have just completed, so, the table is 1/2 finished
NOW
The Music Room ?
This will be a huge job. The room is 20 ft. - 18 ft.

We already have a lot to start with, as my husband used to do the breakfast show on the radio.
And of course he used to play a lot of 60s music, and has 1000,s of C.D.'s

 What would a 1960,s  music room be like without Marilyn or Elvis ?
l bought hubby this antique drum kit many moons ago
l know its not the 60s, its from the 1940's and was played during the war years
But this is a music room renovation !

Some of his collectible,  musical instruments.

l know Americans are very patriotic,but here in Australia we can be too.
This large flag covers 1/2 the roof.
What we need now is a jute box, and red bench seats like in our era, or, 
Ritchie Cunninghams " Happy Days "

l could go on with a lot of other things like the house trim needs painting, etc. but they are boring things, and have to be done anyway.
Time to make a start ----
