You can attach the hose to either the tap on the side of the house or the side of the garage, but it takes a bit of effort and the removal of bits and bobs on both sides.
The drain in the middle of the patio is actually not at the lowest point so most of the water does not go into it.
The dirty piece of orangey red string attached to the garden gate does have a purpose; it can be hooked over the nail in the side of the house by the back door to hold the gate open.
There is quite an assortment of implements for doing various things inside the garage including; two hoses, several brushes with various heads, a mop, 2 rakes and a manual hedge clipper.
If you open all the windows in the house you get a marvellous cross breeze upstairs and down.
We have daffodils growing in the front and back gardens along with a purple flower I can’t identify.
The more we live here, the more I like it. Especially now that spring is coming and we can start to enjoy our back garden to it’s fullest.
