Backyard retreat

My ‘she shed’ is my oasis of calm. Lovingly converted from a commercial gazebo, my backyard retreat among the gum trees has colourful vintage glass windows and an arrogant pink witch weather vane astride the roof, matching the pink front door. Inside, succulents are my hero pieces, while garden paraphernalia, foraged finds and salvaged family pieces are displayed alongside whimsical mementos and memories of my life experiences. Inside my shed, I pot, rearrange, dream, read, entertain, and plan for my next little project. This summer will see us attempting to finish the entry decking and a recycled brick path connecting the pretty vintage gate to the house. I can’t wait to join the kangaroos that visit our garden and get started.
