wow clairey,ive just looked at your pics and you have a lot of work to do,what you have done looks brill,im still trying to figure out tho,why cover the front garden in slate and all those rocks,so jealuse about the pond tho,chris

Well done on your first blog... looking forward to seeing your progress in your gardens :o)

I've never been so happy Chris, i finally feel like im home, i have found a new love in gardening, have always seen it as a chore. The house we moved from had a small garden with raised beds, all filled with tropical spikey inpractical unchildfriendly plants, which would have been great if garden was bigger, but as soon as little one started to run, she would have to stop, altho lovely to look at it was a rubbish garden for my little monster.
I have stopped trying to work out why, as she has done so many bizarre things inside and out of the house, i am grateful for her break downs in b&q and her quick fixes as it made this house affordable :o)

Thank you TT i think im loving it so much because everything i do is making a difference, there are alot of dog walkers in the small village that all walk past to get to the footpath, they all comment and give me words of encouragement, which spurs me on even more.

Lovely first blog,your photo's are really good.It will be nice to have your little one helping out,you see things like a child again. Happy gardening :))

Congratulations on your first blog. I'm glad you live somewhere nice now. You've had a great day by the sound of it - just sitting and noticing everything around you. It sounds wonderful :o)

Super blog and lovely photos. You and your little one were getting an education taking in some of natures gifts.

Lovely write up and pictures Clairey. Your place sounds idyllic just the place for you and miniyou to chill out and watch the seasons go by ;-)
