Tiles and rendering

We went to Leroy Merlin (a DIY MEGA store) in Pau on Saturday to collect the tiles we ordered a couple of weeks ago for the floor in the outdoor kitchen. 

The are called Grey London Stoneware. We didn't chose them because of the name! They are a slightly textured pale grey. We though pale would be good not to pick up too much heat from the sun, and we wanted fairly neutral as there is a lot going on already with the stone and wood. There will be a bit of color in the (small) red tiled work surface.

We are planning on rendering/repointing stonework with white lime, a sample of which is on a slate beside the tiles. A bit of the wall has experimentally got grey lime, to the right of the slate. We are planning that it is quite rustic and rendered with some bits of stone showing through.

Here are the tiles for the red work surface - bit of a while until we are ready for those still! Splashback will be red and white checks.
