      Wawaw Izzy, what a great job you did 🤩- you and Tom are really amazing guys, always looking forward to your videos 👍👍 By the way, last week we have been visiting Cornwall with our Campervan (St. Michael's Mount, Porthleven, Tintagel coast path, Boscastle, Saint-Yves,...) -> it is really an amazing beautiful piece of England you guys are living 😍🤩🤩

      I enjoyed this video so much! All your hard work really paid off and I'm very impressed with your mega bargains. I think I will have to find a car boot sale now. Look forward to seeing any more projects you might do. I'd like to see you guys test run tents and camping equipment out there. X

      Izzy I loved this video because it brought back so many happy memories of when me and my wife moved into our first tiny home that had a backyard (!).
      The terraced house had been renovated inside, but the builders had left all the old bathroom suite and a load of other junk in the backyard.
      So we "borrowed" a load of pots, plants, and soil (!) from mum and dad's garden, and also tools, and paints.
      We scrubbed the concrete and bricks with just water & washing up liquid.
      We then painted the old bath, toilet, and sink, and then we planted the plants in them!!!
      We were SO SO proud of our achievement, just like you are!!! 👏👏👏

    The back wall would look lush painted. I fancy a bright colour with one square/rectangle painted with a contrast colour! Or two! To match the chair colours.... 👀💫❤️
    Brilliant. Well done 💚

    Love it! We have a similarly tiny concrete back yard in a very inner city area but last year filled it with soil with some flat stones as a walkway and planted loads of wildflowers that did well in the shade. It's really come to bloom this year and I love seeing the butterflies and bees (no frogs!) visiting. We hung bird feeders that didn't attract much attention at first but we now have some regular visitors who are eating us out of house and home at the rate they go through seed/fat balls!

    The possibilities are endless. What a great outdoor space, I hope your landlord will appreciate the improvement you have made to the area overall. Maybe an outdoor storage box would be helpful to place all your cushions etc if you don't have much space indoors. If you get a chance I would give the patio a good go with a power wash just to get rid of any extra black bits than can be slippy if wet. And as for frogs, frogs are good 🐸. This area will enhance your lives so much, enjoy! 🌼🦩🐸🧹☀🪴

    Izzy! Such a fantastic job - thank you for sharing the transformation. I know that you have mentioned that you get anxiety at times and also there's the Frog phobia. Given all of that, I am very impressed with how positive you are about tasks - even the so-called 'mundane' ones, such as scrubbing away algae and clearing the vegetation. It's a lesson for us all, with the hard prep work that is required for any job. Instead of complaining, you appreciated the smells and textures around you. That is what I call working mindfully. Any time I get impatient or frustrated from now on, I'll try and think 'how would Izzy approach this?' :)
    Much love to you and Tom - thank you both for the content you share with us.

    Use old pots and pans with holes drilled in bottom for plant pots. Old buckets with holes in bottom for containers. Colanders as hanging baskets. Garden centres sell the chains or you can use old rope or paracord. £120? Tom is never letting you go shopping alone ever again lol. ps There is no frog or toads until you see it in the bushes, so just remember it will eat slugs and things! And people never try anything until they get it into their mind to just do something and get on with it like you did. You have already seen how light and airy the plot is now.
