Default Garden

I don't think they cost too much (to run) and they were just outdoor fairy lights .
We attached trellece to the wall then wove the lights up and down it in diagonals using a staple gun at stragetic points ( mm like when I thought they needed a bit of extra support)
Ran some all along the top of the fencing on the other side too- just using a staple gun.
Only thing is sometimes bulbs blow and the strand goes out so its a pain in the ass trying to find the faulty bulb.
If I were doing it again I'd invest in LED bulbs .
But I do love it and it used to look like a fairy garden I now have a loose 2year old boy so doesn't really look like a fairy garden anymore.
All loose ornaments have been removed buried or taken for drives in diggers etc.
But it can still be lovely when you no who has gone to the land of nod.
