Thank you so much BMF!!! It is indeed by Nazar, and I have subsequently enquired about it. I really appreciate your help. Cheers!

Sorry, I don't know how to load a photo, but the finished tiles look just like the Ladbroke Trc pavers above only it was done with poured, coloured concrete and then cut and grouted to make it look like pavers, hence no weeds ever! We had it done a terracotta colour which looks great. The sides were done as a wooden retaining wall with stairs up to the higher level of lawn, also done in the concrete. The advantage of concrete opposed to decking is that you never have to think about again as it doesn't rot like decking does after a few years and have to be replaced. It make cost a little more initially, but long term it's really worth the money. We finished off the top of the retaining wall with buxus hedging, but you could put flowers or whatever you fancied there. The concrete trucks have long hoses which can pump the concrete a long distance to the back of your house so no worries there. Hope that helps. Good luck.

Hmm looks vintage! That detail is beautiful. Could you email the old owner of the store?

My outlaws (mainly my mumma in law) wanted our daughters ears pierced at birth because the girls in her family were all pierced at birth so that was a battle from the beginning... I stood firm & said “no, they’re her ears, it will be Bella’s decision - when she asks for them, we’ll consider it”.... so what does Nanny do? Pull a swifty & buy earrings for our daughters fifth birthday that she can’t wear & ask us to get her ears pierced ... so Bella gets all excited & asks & asks to have them done so she can wear nanny’s earrings. I was not impressed. We spoke about it at length with our daughter & explained it would hurt & she wouldn’t be able to back out after one earring ... so for her 5th birthday, she got her ears pierced ... much to my annoyance. The piercer was the only one in town & was a moody, arrogant, know it all 20 year old... and yes, the first one hurt like mad & she cried the shop down wanting to run off before the 2nd one was done... it sucked. I would’ve preferred we wait till Bella was older but it’s done now. After her ears were pierced & she stopped crying, we celebrated with donuts & milkshakes lol. It didn’t stop her from wanting to rip them out the first few days. She loves them now though .... but a very bad age to get it done. Stick to your guns - but if you’re happy & supportive for her to make that decision & get them done, make it a week before a special occasion? So the shock has worn off & she’s in love with her ears once more :)
