    Messing around with rain again here, nothing heavy but I just wish things could dry up for a few days, even when it's not raining the atmosphere is so damp any drying is very slow.

    Advice or ideas on narrow garden landscaping, partitioning and dealing with a raised patio

    Stepping stones made from recycled tyres look ok @Dan1981 . They look a bit like slate.

    Dying Privet Hedge

    The variegated Pittosporum Elizabeth could work well - one of my neighbours has a very attractive hedge of this. I liked @Plantminded's suggestion of a flowering climber for the arch itself, too.
