No need for embarrassment pippasmum,the fact that you have been on here asking is a credit to you.
none of us would expect a "pro" job,but the satisfaction of doing it yourself must be fantastic
good luck LLL

another question, how are these steps supported on the side? or are the steps built into the slope (image from main site)

that looks unfeasibly good pippasmum
there are many ways to do steps like that,sometimes its just a brick at the front and lean mix behind it
or sometimes there is brickwork supporting it all the way around
fine looking patio,well done!

Very well done Pips mum.
It might be an idea to haunch the exposed edge, just to stop any movement.
thank you LLL well here goes what do you think?
