Tile: Any way I can tile over this?

Tile: Any way I can tile over this?

Hi all,

Looking for a bit of advice before I start. Be kind I know it looks awful atm! This is a tiny corner I'm allocating as grown up space in our raised back garden. It's only me that will see it so it doesn't need to be perfect but I'd like to know the best approach. I can't afford a professional tiler. It's just going to be a little hideaway corner. I've already bought these tiles which I absolutely love and I got them really cheap. I'm quite ok / good at diy projects usually. But haven't tiled before, and yes going for a complicated herringbone pattern as I love it.

I’ve got an existing patio made up of concrete paving slabs that were laid by the previous owner. As far as I can tell, they’re just bedded into the ground (soil/grit) not onto a proper concrete base. They seem fairly flat but a few have cracked.

Do I really need to lift these slabs? (Urgh).

Thank you
