Absolutely wonderful sir!

A fantastic thing to be able to look back on and....pass on to the children one day as keepsakes.

Great blog David:0)

wow i bet thats interesting reading. David.....how did u get on with the rain last night? it looked even worse up with u.

David, what a treasure you have!

Fascinating.... You worked very hard on your garden David...

Future episodes to be entitled.....
"Country Diary of an Edwardian Gentleman" :o)

Nice to see your diaries D, its great to look back and see where youve been isn't it?

I remember the Gateshead Festival in 1990 (just)..managed to drag OH along. It was a lovely hot day I remember. I like that head planter too....looks good on the shed (lovely colour by the way!)

like the head planter~ have you still got that?

I remember that eclipse. We had drizzle lol. It went rather dark but it was dark anyway because of the cloudy weather. - Rather disappointing :o(
Nice reading your memories again.

Adorable photo!

Its my fencing they steal! Its rush matting type stuff!

Thank you sweetie! Shame the rhubarb's past!

Oh thats an even better way to recall it then.

Lovely look back is your shed still as nice and are the under water lights still going?

I m with you there Andrew from someone who has painted 40ft of trellis, and still finding places I have missed.

It's great not having to wait for the next episode to appear! But now I've caught up with your blogs, David, time to go & read about what others have been blogging on about! LOL! :-D

I've got one that is still in draft form!

Another interesting blog with extracts from your diary.

I wish I'd known about the dog's hair earlier, now it's too late as our 5 little doggies have gone to the "Doggy heaven in the sky" as Elvis Priestly once sung. (I have the song on my computer & it, quite literally, brings tears to my eyes - & I'm not one for being emotional! We could have used the copious amounts of hair they shed.

I have had a couple of cone shaped hanging baskets on my balcony for years now & in the spring it's quite common to see the birds pulling out threads of the coconut fibre lining! They used to do the same with the other 5 round baskets, they all had coconut fibre liners till I changed them this year before filling them with Fuchsias. No, I didn't change them to stop the birds pulling out the fibre, I changed them because they were all breaking up & I couldn't use them another year.

Lovely, interesting blog once again, David! I've tried on the odd occasion to keep a diary but soon tire of making entries. Having said that I keep a sort of weather diary on the BeyondSpace forum where I'm one of the Admins. I've written a page of the weather where I live for the last 3 years & it makes interesting reading to look back on.:-)

Looking forward to reading more entries rescued from your diary.

I'm still waiting for my cake!! Lol!

:o)

Tsk, tsk, AGAIN, Tt! LOL.

Looking forward to the turn of the century....
... can't wait to see what happened during 1900....
That's the year Kodak introduced $1 brownie cameras... :o)

ps, ive always wanted a water feature like this, i have the Urn but thats as far as i got, maybe one day..

I am really enjoying these fun instalments.

Spritz - very slowly (from one who has painted trellis)

Enjoyed that, keep em coming please.

Have to agree another interesting blog, next episode please.

Another interesting episode!

Very interesting to know what people did to their gardens in the last century! Great blog, David, you certainly kept busy back in the 'old days' :)

LOL. Oh, Tt!!! naughty, naughty!

Seriously, I'm enjoying it, too! I can't even begin to imagine how you'd paint all that trellis. Just as well you didn't try!

Enjoying these David...
1899 was a great year....
Did you have one of those cameras where you had to put a big black cloth over your head ? ;o)
