This is seriously impressive. Congratulations! Love the pizza oven and patio area as well as what you've done with the various levels.
Where is the other shed (now the gym) in relation to this one?

Thank you. On the 1st page there’s a drawing of “garden plan”. The gym would be bottom right of that page if it was drawn.

Some gardening updates...
I've potted some plants in the greenhouse a few weeks back.....they have started to grow!
Soon I'll be sorting out this small patio area, been neglected for a few years since the wall was built. Dig it out, sort some draining. Fill up and top with a nice stone.
The green house in the garden, I never rebuilt it properly after moving it. It's been 4 years now so i've been motivated to properly finish it. 6 panes of glass ordered for collection tomorrow. The window openers dropped off at my mates metal fab place for a refurb.
Patio Magic'd the patio and path this afternoon. Fingers crossed it works.

Things from facebook grew.Bought some climbers for the back fence and planted some things that I picked up from facebook locally.
Back fence climbers died.
A new plan for back fence hedge will have to happen.

Phormium tenax is easy and reliable. If you're looking for something to completely smother that fence then clematis montana is easy and reliable plant a couple at either end and one in the middle prepare the planting hole mix in some compost with teh backfill it'll cover the whole fence no trouble and be a mass of flowers this time of year, the armandii examples you had in the barrow is nowhere near as reliable nor as free growing its more a specimen plant for the right spot

There's a few spots that I think are dirty rather than green so i'll fire up the powerwasher this weekend to deal with those. The issue is it ends up blowing all the grout out. On the bricks it takes the surface off.

I dont have much time to use it is the biggest update at the moment.
Nothing purchased though as it does not really need anything. It's a great build and I love it anytime I have a go. Just wish I was a better driver.

Plot twist, after thinking the back fence had died....it looks like it just needed a year to kick in, she's growing now!Bought some climbers for the back fence and planted some thinks that I picked up from facebook locally.
Some updates:
Planted all of the stuff I potted up in the green house...about 85% of it grew so i'm happy with that. Got loads of those white things growing up, two have flowered.
How she used to look. So glad i've documented it.
Looks like imgbb must be blocking images on free accounts, shame.
