Looks much classier Lincs, and you`ve some great planting, just love that poppy.

Great doors Lincslass!! I notice how much further on your garden is compared to mine in Scotland, and your white roses are not suffering from rot with too much rain. I grow mine with sweet peas too. :o)

Your new doors are fab! Love the cat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
10th pic is my fav! all looking great! :))))))

Hi Sue ...

Your garden is looking pretty :o)
The new doors and walls are a great idea.
Do you think they will be a lot better for you and the dogs ?

The doors look lovely Lincs and so does your garden despite the weather......especially the gorgeous poppy....
How have the dogs taken to being excluded.....but I don,t suppose youve been able to sit out there much...

Your cactus is beautiful Sue ! ... I had to say that lol.
Your new doors are lovely. I had brown ones like that in the old cottage, looking out to the garden. I miss them, although there are French doors here aswell, but it's not the same as the old cottage.
Your plants in the garden look great in spite of the rain. I don't think the plants mind it as much as we do.
It was nice to see you had company while taking the photos :o)

Love the doors they look great,lovely plants you have there aswell:)))))

Very smart Lincslass, I love the fan lights, thats what I wish we had on our doors.

lovely doors sue and hope you get to open them this summer, lovely photos of flowers to :o)

Hi Sanbaz, missed you.

Lovely doors Lincs! very smart! what are the pink tail plants in the green planter lincs? it reminded me of -think they were called cats tails- that my nan had years ago! hope my cactus flowers soon, only once have i seen little white flowers on it in years :o)

It's exciting when the cactus/succulent plant flowers is it christmas something or other?!
Yes love that Poppy too and puss is a beauty.

Thanks all, I`m pleased to say that both dogs are being very good so far as regards the doors, we have had no attempt from Brynner to put his paws anywhere near them, he has always insisted on laying on the inner doorstep but now I think all the framework has put him off, fingersxx naturally, it was good yesterday to sit outside with my coffee but as with all good things its back indoors today and look at the puddles instead, lol..
The dark poppies are a first this year, I was given some seeds last autumn from a lady who has an allotment next to my son, so I`ve been waiting for the outcome and hoping they came true.
Leigh the ones in the planter are called Love Lies Bleeding, never had them before, the ones in the garden are really struggling with all the wet....

Ooh, yeah thats really nice, how long did it take to grow, did you sow it? let me know how it does i quite like it! :o)

It is Lulu, Hywel probably knows the correct name, I have had it for over 10 yrs with no flowers hence the excitement, lol, Caspar is a British Blue Pointer, very comical cat, he thinks he`s a human and definitely owns us....
Leigh I did grow them myself, thousands in a packet so if you decide to grow some in the future don`t sow the whole packet ,lol, they are fast growing as well...

Haha, ive learned that already lol had to buy a greenhouse to house the silly amount i sowed lol :o)

Those doors are lovely Lincs, can't you see all the garden through these ? Your garden looks great inspite of the rain and I love that idea with the little bird cage.
