A couple has transformed their tiny backyard into a tropical paradise to bring 'holidays to them' following a trip to Thailand.
Simon Mabury, 52, and his husband, Richard, 43, set out to create a jungle-themed garden at the back of their Leeds home as a renovation project since lockdown.
The couple was inspired to create their own green sanctuary after visiting countries like Vietnam and Thailand on holiday - and to bring a sense of calm to help with Simon's mental health which he has struggled with since coming out as gay.
