About Me

My photo
Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom
With many years experience working as a Senior PA / Office Manager with excellent Human Resources and Administration experience I developed this blog to show what I can bring for businesses in the North East of England. In my leisure time homes are my passion and so I've captured things that I've done in my home and garden.

Backdrop for Green

These photographs speak for themselves...

From dull grey....

...to rich brown; a lovely backdrop for those green plants

...the main focus on the garden with no real depth...

...is soon transformed to show off the lights and pots.  

...from dull grey and slippery green decking...

...to a lovely relaxing area with depth and welcome!
