my open garden 13th june

17 comments


this sunday .
im trying to tastefully get rid of the chicken wire stopping jerry getting across my pond .im making sculptures in the right holes to stop my springer diving in my pond and piercing it again.i was lucky they have braught out a new kind of sylicone excuse my spelling that will even fix a hole under water or it would of been a nightmare to fix . i none the less dont want the dogs in that part of my garden.i think he sore a mouse or something as he didnt even atempt it for 10 years then the next min i couldnt keep him out.i had this head green on my pagoda that im changing.i didnt think so i just cemented it facing inwards to my 2000 gallon pond and slapped cement on it.then i built a face on the outside . it then dawned on me that it looked horrible and it was green instead of black.so there i was today with a fold up ladder with bubble wrap on the feet in the pond.grinder in hand . yes it was a tad dangerous which didnt leave my mind.i had to make a key for the new cement to go over the old. i had to flood the pond to get the lime out of it .lucky it holds so much as i didnt drop to much . it was more the dust from the grinding and the black stain.anyway the job is done, the fish are well and im alive though my back is apserlutley killing me lol . i hope you like it . take care bye for now .

this is the head thats the garden side that some of you have seen that i did the other week.

this is the green head i thaughtlessly put in behind the first sculpture that i had to make look right and tidy.

and here is the same green head now black and remodled excuse my spelling . i hope you like it . i was pleased now as it was a niggle that i couldnt forget every time i looked at my fish . it took me a while to think of a way of doing it realy.im glad its done . ow and how could i not just show you one of my latest picture of my lovley little pups .

well im disabled and it kills my back . im not after sympathy you understand but it just makes it all the harder . especialy asking my 77 year old mum to carry bags of cement etc . the way i see it is i love doing it .it prompts me to do more to my garden and one day i wont be able to do it . also with all my tattoos i guess im somewhat of an extravert maybe and last but definatly not least the hospice benefits from it . its realy nice doing something selflesly sometimes especialy when your doing it for the much more needy . we as a race are baught up to be selfish and shallow and i have been just that in my past but ive seen the light with age i guess . a lot of people would do well to take a leaf out of my book realy excuse the pun and yours .39 houses made 4`000 pounds but theres over 30,000 people in my town which is a very small minority realy when you look at it like that . im sure as i do some give to other charities but still its im betting a small minority .good on you for doing something like that . have a pat on the back . sorry i havent herd of frances house sorry .im terrible with money so i raise money like this or i draw pictures for charity or donate from a picture i rehome .im sure if i got 10,000 a week i would still have empty pockets lol .anyway take care bye for now xx.
