Still here, still pretty much housebound, and no plans to travel too far afield. But who needs to, if they’ve got such wonderful courtyards in their own home? I hope they come complete with a gardener who knows what they are doing, because they can’t count on me to keep anything alive and pretty.
I’ve always craved a place to gather with friends outside on balmy summer evenings and tell stories. From simplybestwoman.comCourtyard in Mexico from Contemporist.com.

Gorgeous photos. The Tunisian aesthetics are so appealing. These images have me thinking about how I can be more creative with the terraces we are so fortunate to have! Thank you.
These are so beautiful, Marina Sofia! I love the idea of relaxing in them. I think the one I’d choose is the first one. Sitting there with a cup of something, having a chat or reading or something … how lovely!

The first one is a double win for me. Reminds me of our B&B in Portugal, our last holiday.

These wonderful courtyards make my back yard seem terribly dull…
Those are all gorgeous, but the Mexican one and the one with the water feature particularly. My garden is now looking particularly ugly…

I love all of these courtyards! I feel so grateful for our very small back garden but I still have such envy for the gorgeous courtyards.
Lovely spaces.
And yes to the gardener. My sister-in-law was on the prowl to find THE plant I would not make die. She found one. Don’t ask me how it’s named.
These are heavenly. Who will want to leave home from these ?
