I'm hoping you're wrong Bronwen!!

Thanks for the responses, nice to know my blog has been read!!
I will have a look back at other blogs, thanks for pointing them out to me Terratoonie.

To be continued......... !

I was wondering what time of year this picture was taken? One of my favourite places.........

That is a beautiful cat!

I will most definitely post a comment on these fuchsia but they don't arrive until April so we've all got a bit of a wait!
I've got 12 plants on order so I'm thinking I will try out various sites 1 of which will be in the middle of Salisbury Plain!

oh dear, what have I done? I keep finding myself having just 1 more go! I've got to go out now & I haven't even looked at my garden history coursework which is what I was supposed to be doing this morning...........
Ho hum.....

Squirrels!! Go & wash your mouth out now! They are currently making my life a misery! I have lived here for 20 years & up until 3 months ago I had never seen a squirrel in mine or my neighbours gardens. I have been aware of their presence since my neighbour & her cats moved away.
My intention is to kill them as soon as possible as they have been digging up bulbs, stealing the food I put out for the birds, digging up my lawn & they keep removing plants from pots & rumaging throught the soil. Possibly worst of all is their apparent enjoyment in running up & down on the roof when I am trying to sleep after a nightshift!!
Extermination is undoubtedly controversial but they are just vermin at the end of the day. My intention is to shoot them but so far I have had no luck, obviously not that great a shot! My friend, who is an excellent shot comes over periodically but the squirrels seem to know & stay out of sight!
This is war!

I love waterlilies! Wish I had a pond........

It looks far nicer than I remember, I'm going to have to take another look!

Main reason for visiting this location was to look at the house but the garden was good too & I will be returning for a better look when the property reopens next year. There is a rose garden & a working kitchen garden but I don't have any photographs of them.

This is a beautiful location at any time of year but I was completely captivated when I visited on the 2nd of November 2007 and viewed Stourhead in all its Autumnal glory.
I don't think my photos even begin to do it justice.......
Well worth a visit!
