I love the way your cottage looks Bonkers. Looks like you could gardan upwards with trellises between your windows and doors.

Yes very snug not good for anyone 6 feet tall or over Im 5' 10" and still bang my head on beams.Thats a great idea Mike but the bracket over the door is for a christmas tree that local council provide each year - they dress various properties in the village and lights for the tree.Have done so for many years apparently so may have to forego that and wait for wisteria to cover wall.

The wisteria will look fabulous. Well... banging your head on the beams... Now we all know how you chose your name :)

P. S. Be sure to post a photo this coming winter of your cottage decorated for Christmas. I'm sure that it looks great.

Apparently its early 1600 so not quite as old as yours.We have two rooms that have been sealed off locals tell us that is because cottage was used as mortuary for church next door! Now that would make a good quiz guess what I find in these rooms.Be a good halloween quiz!

Access is through old lean to shed at end of house worried that I ll bring the lot down (knowing me thats a given) so perhaps when get pond finished....

It would be a great adventure to find out exactly what is in the two rooms. When we were decorating the little bedroom in our old house we found an old fireplace that consisted of stones either side with bars of metal and a little flower on each side. We left a small time capsule in there and closed it back up again. Your cottage is lovely and cosy. I like your pond too, so does the duck by the looks of it!!!

That was a nice idea Linda suggest it to Jane and she ll say I should be time capsule and bricked up! Garden will never win awards but wildlife love it.Duck currently into 2 weeks of 4 week incubation in bed of nettles so little ducklings in @ 2 weeks time.

Have you ever thought of growing Campsis Radican up your walls? I have one growing on my back wall and it is beautiful when in flower, you don't need to tie it in either as it holds on like ivy
What else?
