Of course. betula utilis 'jacquemontii' - very popular with us garden designers owing to the striking white stems but also as birch has a relatively small leaf which allows light to penetrate easily.

I'm with eimearcahill, there is absolutely NOTHING tasteful about my Christmas decorations, it's excess everywhere. I did suggest when my daughters both got to their twenties that I might scale things back a bit but, after a reaction that could have earned them a walk on part in The Grinch who Stole Christmas, I realised that it was obviously very important that I spent the best part of a day turning the house into Santa's grotto :D I now have a granddaughter so I am resigned to many more years to come....

That is an Olive tree (Olea europea) It would be a good choice if you want year round privacy as it is evergreen. If you want more interest if you are in a warm part of the uk you might consider a Mimosa (Acacia dealbata) which has yellow flowers in late winter, but can get quite large. A Photinia is another option which is also evergreen, but has the added bonus of white flowers and the young leaves are a bronzy colour.

So many levels, so many trip hazards! Our garden originally had several levels, the worst was a small concrete patio which went down, then up a step, then down, then up to the main part - a design disaster! We slowly improved it with a one level deck (which now needs replacing) then a retaining wall with two steps up to the main garden. If budget allows demolish the wall, remove all various paving, keeping the paving you like for reuse. I would then get a Garden Designer to draw up a plan with a planting plan. This would cost a few hundred pounds but I think it will be well worth it. You can then either do the work yourself or get a landscaper in. I’m loving the pictures shared above, great inspiration. Below is my two level garden as it was a couple of weeks ago.
