Mark, I would tend to go for something that is as portable as possible. For example your neighbours may change in the future or simply just change their mind and you might be faced with restoring it to it's current position.

It's all fantasy just now especially with me out of work.

A raised bed, made using interlocking blocks, with buried pots would be good

Thankfully there is only one trampoline near me lying in bits in a neighbours garden. High wind lifted it, dumped it on a car and then blew it in to a front window.

With all that gravel I'm imagining a beach scene Mark...........you know the sort of thing you see at Chelsea.

An old wreck of a row boat, some skanky flotsam, old rope & there you have it.

And it can all be moved to another neighbours garden if you fall out with the 'girls' ;D

Deck Chair, small table, glass of wine.
