          A hidden paradise Loli. So very, very lovely in all respects. You have put a lot of thought into everything you have done.
          Thank you for inviting me in,
          Jenny

              GC comes after spending many hours grafting in the garden, and is often accompanied by a mug of well earned tea, or even something chilled and alcoholic whilst gazing out over our hard work :)

                GC gives us a chance to have a rest between stints in the garden and most of my posts are between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. :)

                    Mine's a bit more of a modest plot, but here's the back, from the garage roof.
                    [​IMG]
                    Excuse the lawn, needs a bit of work.
                    And the front, again excuse the lawn and the for sale sign(sick of the sight of that!)....
                    [​IMG]

                    The back was mainly paved with 2 decking areas and a big pond when we moved in, we laid the lawn and carried out most of the work about 7 years ago, raised bed added about 5 years ago.
                    The front was all gravelled with a tree in the middle and conifers to the adjoining side, I cleared them and carried out all the work (apart from yearly new plants) about 2 years ago.
