i have been a.w.a.l. Nosy... how exciting to start making ceramics.. I would love to see how your garden has developed over the years. Love your new planters especially the lego one.

Where've you been Nosy, you were missed! It was a good idea to give up the concrete - no point in taking risks and its so easy to damage yourself. What are you planning to put in all those new containers? The new ones in the Toxic one look pretty innocent so far! Have you kept the sculptures you made before? I always admired the big one in the front garden and the lovely mushrooms...

You have made some really original planters, Nosey! You have a great talent for making sculptures & that is reflected in other things you make! 👍

Agreed.

hello Leigh, lovely to hear from you again. Hope you are keeping well.
typically you are making your garden special. those planters are amazing.

Great to hear from you NP! The LEGO planter is a wonderful creation though the “toxic” planter will get the most scrutiny from your garden visitors I’ll bet.

Crikey! That was a very interesting video, Leigh! Even your front door is eye catching too! Lots of unusual things going on, fascinating really…the car, well, I bet you get lots of people taking pics!
Agree with Sue - you’ll definitely need a hard earned rest after all that heavy work!

How did we know it was your car? Who else's could it possibly be?

Your car is a dead giveaway, definitely you, I've seen your Grim Reaper, now he definitely gives me the shivers Leigh and Roxie, think that's her name from what I could make out, she is very modern isn't she, its the fashion to have plump lips,...You were ahead of the times with her...LOL....

Great to see you back Leigh. Glad you were able to include a couple of "old favourites" - its a long time since we saw them! Your car doesn't half look scarey! I reckon you ve rest after all that heavy work...

Over the years I've always been fascinated by your creations and how you incorporate them into your garden, I still think they would scare me if I came upon them unexpectedly in the dark, I admit to having an over zealous imagination at times, the screws for the fish fencing are amazing, how on earth did you think of that idea Leigh, I do like the planter, the height must make it so much easier for planting and caring for it..
To me the sculptures brought to mind Tolkien and his Trees in Middle Earth, isn't it funny how our minds interpret differently, if I hadn't had the sound on I wouldn't even have thought of Easter Island.
I enjoyed the video Leigh....

I liked the Toxic planter as well , you have a canny way of always thinking outside the box Leigh .. It makes you look at things in a different light x

Love the Blue man Leigh you have a rare talent ,it's good to see you're still doing your art work ... xx

Hello My friend ,what a sad story ,I'm so sorry to hear about your mum and best friend , we were talking about you this week when my son came to visit as he remembered meeting you .. I'll go and see if I can look at your video ... I know you were pleased to know your Mushrooms are still taking pride of place in our daughter's garden since we moved . Take care my friend xx

I enjoyed your video very much. I do love the screws for holding the fence up. art work on the car is very good too.
your 'toxic' plant is very colourful too. hope you enjoy the summer as it grows.

Leigh the watercress I mentioned is called Aqua and there are several places listed on line where you can get it. I've been meaning to try it myself but haven't got round to it yet!

Poppy seeds will germinate better with cold stratification. You can sow in late winter or store for about one month in the fridge before sowing. As for watercress; they need clear running water but don't eat as it can carry liverfluke.

Great to hear from you!

Wow! Not seen you for ages Nosey; great to see you. Good luck with your seeds.

I've seen an ad for watercress that will grow without running water so worth looking into.
Nosey its so nice to see you back on here again! How are you keeping these days?

Hi Leigh,
poppies just need scattering where you want them to grow and flower. Watercress needs slow running water so they need sowing in very damp soil. Any time from now on will work as they are 'happy' in the UK.

Bless you Leigh, I lost my beloved sister just over two years ago also, she was always my little sister, one I had to care for, help her through the rough times and she sure had plenty of those in her life, I've been struggling without her, losing someone effects us in different ways, you haven't lost your mum completely Leigh, she is in your heart and mind as Cathy is with me, I chat to her all the time, when I'm alone that usually ends in tears but I also laugh at the daft things she did , that's soothing...Sadly it seems your sisters actions have made it worse for you, we cannot change the past but I think by talking about it, even if its only on here to us means you are taking back your own life, I call it getting your Mojo back Leigh, its good and I'm willing you to continue, I know I'm pleased to see you and hoping to see and hear more from you, even if it is another scary man face that I don't wish to see in the dark....

Oh Leigh I am so sorry for the situation you found yourself in. Just remember your sister cannot take away the treasured memories you have of your mum. The drawing will come back when your brain feels ready.

Hywel has a kiln [I think]. I'd be interested to see what you make. Love the beard by the way! :o)

Sadly I can’t access videos on my iPad … will have to put my computer on …

… oh wow! Thanks Leigh - I loved the reflections in the moving water - video better than a photo 🙂.

Yes it was lovely to hear from him.

Oh Yes!!!!..A lovely surprise this morning, after all these years its so good to know he's stiil here and creative as ever, wonder if he has paintings to show us, I'll have to look on YouTube, I'm glad he didn't give up when not being able to load his pics...

I wondered if the blue man was based on him too Lincs. Isn't it lovely to see him still devising his amazing sculptures.

Well hello and welcome back Nosey, I really enjoyed watching the video, your garden is as fascinating as it ever was, nice to see you still have good company, your fish are fine specimens, I've often wondered if you were okay, I'm going to be cheeky, is the blue man you relaxing ??? Nearly forgot to ask, do you still light it all up at night, would love to see that...

wonderful Leigh, nice to see your dogs are looking happy and those sterlet are beautiful. I know they are related to sturgeon but I doubt you'll get any caviar haha.

I really like the asteroid planter, reminds me of open seed cases.

well hello stranger, how are you doing. That is so weird I was looking back at some of your earlier blogs and wondered how you were.

yes we have been having issues with photos and I have found ones just under 1mb will load.

I will have a look at your you tube video next.
