Our garden continued to take shape during 2016. As you can see from the photograph we had installed some additional features. The Strandkorb (beach chair) was provided by our new neighbour Klaus, whose father was in the Strandkorb business. The Feuerschale (fire pit bowl) was purchased online, and the Aztekenofen (Chimenea) was hauled out of our cellar, having previously been a feature of our garden in Plymouth.
At Gatti"s suggestion, I had also laid a winding garden path from the garden gate to the patio. At the time, I wasn't quite convinced that the path should not be straight. However, in the intervening years it has attracted many positive comments from friends and neighbours!
