A wood, an archery lawn and some peacocks.
Less woodpigeons nesting, and the magpie nest can **** off too. Do have blackbirds nesting too which is nice 🙂 .

Peacocks are hideous creatures. Pheasants with a massive marketing budget.
Not sure a bow and arrow would be sufficient.

Yes! That peacock (well, peahen) that nested in my garden was a right bastard! When I got rid of it's (rotten) eggs it came looking for me. I was scared!

The Peacocks are to fletch the arrows, silly!
I assume they've been banished from Flashheart manor?

Not banished exactly.
They were partners in Flashy's short lived foray into the world of convenience food for the upper classes.
KFP.
It never really caught on.
I really want a sauna, a tree house and climbing wall. That stuff would fit in my garden just about. If we are playing make believe I'll have a swimming pool a jump track and some of my groupies.
A pond.

A bigger veg patch and a slope at one end, for sledging down in winter.
Pampas grass out the front
Hot tub in the back

I'd like my modest pond to be bigger, deeper and properly lined. Chances of this happening = zero; our two teenagers are still moaning about how I should have made it into a (small) swimming pool instead. So if I dare to go near the ground with a spade, or any potential spend is going to be shot down in flames (the ladies in the house want a hot-tub or one of those overblown paddling pool things).
Other than that - being realistic - another bee-keeper in waiting so some hives would be nice. I was signed up to the Sussex associations course this year but that's been cancelled what with everything going on. So the hives will have to wait until next year. Somewhere permanent and covered to leave the pizza oven and BBQ out. A decent outside furniture set would be nice.
If we're talking money-no-object; a garden designer would be good, then someone to come in to move the chicken run, lay a proper area of decking and then install one of those garden pods, complete with heating and lighting...
