Good Monday morning!
I can’t begin to tell you how much energy has been opened up with my newly designed veranda! The work I put into it was indeed laborious and daunting to begin with but the results are so much better than I expected!
Have a great day, everyone!
Enjoy the day that’s in it!
Blessings, Colette and Patsy XXX












As always Lovely, you have done a wonderful job and you are still so inspiring to me. I love the watering can by the downpipe especially. Everything is beautiful but that just tickled me and of course, why not?! Thank you for all you do to share your abundance with me ( I don’t speak for everyone but you do have a positive effect in my life).
Looking fabulous! 😀
Looks just Wonderful 😊
All my comments on your youtube channel get removed immediately…
The shenanigans of YouTube are beyond my comprehension!
Dear Colette
Love the idea with the downpipe and the watering can.
Going to copy it.
Wonderful pics thanks

Oh how wonderful your garden and new veranda looks Collette. Such a beautiful sanctuary 🙏
absolutely beautiful. Job well done Colette. Love the dark blue and the garden redesign, so very welcoming and peaceful. Blessings to you and enjoy all your hard work.
It’s beautiful and I really like the dark blue of the wall. It sets everything off.
Spectacular! It looks very open and flow-y now…also, that watering can and vacuum hose arrangement is genius!! xo
LOL, I love the watering can spout! Looks like something I’d do.
It looks amazing Colette! Fresh and refreshed!
I love the blue colour. Enjoy the many peaceful moments in your beautiful space♥️🐇
Love what you have achieved, it is a wonderful space! Suzie x
You new project is amazing, the had work paid off in great rewards. Keep on keeping on.
You are a worker, Colette! I always admire people who work hard… I cannot imagine laying all that gravel, etc.! And your veranda is lovely….
What a beautiful garden you have now, all your work has given a wonderful result!!!🌺🌸💐
It all looks wonderful! Watching and reading your site gives me so much peace…❤️
Glad the veranda and roof project is completed. The air flow is good. Love your design. The Enchanted changes of Bealtine Cottage!
Absolutely wonderous!
It’s replenishing to clear and recreate. So pleased that you are feeling better and more connected.
Your grandmother is very near you at this time- you are speaking of her very often in present times – l don’t know if you are aware of this ? – as sometimes the reflection of others brings out themes that you cannot see close to.
Enjoy and live a happy and good life- the life you wish for others in those war torn areas of our world.
Love you, Colette and Patsy! You and your haven of peace offer such comfort in these terrifying times. Bless you to infinity!
I’m so happy that you’re pleased with it! It certainly is lovely, it’s open, spacious, bright, clean, fresh and still protects the back of the cottage from the elements. The perfect place for a morning coffee. Blessings to you and Patsy!
It’s beautiful Collette
Your new veranda does look wonderful. I especially like the bodge with the watering can. All this reminds me, as you said yourself in an earlier post, I need to do some reorganising in my own garden so that I can maintain it (mostly) on my own in the future.
Your new veranda is wonderful Collette, massive efforts reap huge rewards and help us to feel good, but you don’t need me to tell you that, well done , love Christine 💜👏
All looking great Colette. Enjoy your new space x
