Start of the week

The terrace is finished, I am still cleaning the tiles with the help of some heavy rain.  The contractor recommended acid but I prefer water and some hard work.  We cannot really use the area for a couple of weeks so the table and chairs, pots of plants and strings of solar lights are all on hold but there is a certain beauty as it is now.  The darker tiles are the new ones, the lighter border those we salvaged, I like the contrast and simple pattern.

The garden is happy with the sun and rain, a few snaps




And a giant peacock moth spotted in the border, about 10 cm wingspan, I hope it’s just drying out.

  1. Love the patio - and what an exquisite moth.

  2. Your patio is looking really good - the contrast in colours gives it depth that solids don’t. Warm and inviting- not flat and bland. Possibly makes it appear larger than it actually is?

  3. A job well done, can't wait to see it once it is fully furnished. I can just imagine you out there, dining al fresco and admiring the view!

  4. It looks lovely, hopefully not too much longer before you're enjoying your meals out there.
