Great job, happy growing!
Hope the slug eating frogs visit your pond :)

Looking good! Well done. Next year will be a lot more fun I think.
I wouldn't worry or put any effort into the lawn for a couple of years. Just mow it and focus on the other stuff. It'll likely sort itself out.
You're lucky to have such an attractive back wall. I'd definitely try and keep it as a feature. If you can keep some of it more viable as you grow things up it, I think it would help to make a really effective backdrop.

Small update here. Strimmed the grass as it was more like a brush than a lawn. The little grass that survived the overgrown trees was long and brown (we’re talking 50cm long!).
6th April is the first photo.
11th May shows the wall with ivy still on it, but majority of green removed from the vines themselves.
26th May the ivy partially cleared.
14th June strimmed back some of the grass now we’ve had some rain, and now the new grass seeds are taking in hard packed areas.
Other updates moved the pots to the back wall for visual appeal, grape vine planted, lots of plug plants trying to grow in pots etc.
There should be a fair bit of garden to look at by the end of summer.
