A Couple of alterations to the Garden and,

lovely pictures with your new camera and that stone circle is fabulous!!!

it looks gorgeous Stroller, as you may know I love shingle rocks pebbles and all - makes a garden look so neat and tidy - my bricks I painted with shed paint - it really does work on bricks too , as you mentioned about my bricks :))) lovely garden and love the wood on the last picture with the pebbles - slate :)))))))))))))))

Wow!!! What a transformation - it looks marvellous - I too like the stone circle - rustic and characterful!!

Wow, haven't you been busy ! What a difference you have made to your garden Stroller. It looks really good.

Hi Stroller - did you concrete your bricks in your circle or just lay them on sand please ?

Lovely - I think your brickwork's fine (better than mine!!) and the pics with your new camera are great - very clear

That looks fantastic! Great use of the bricks! :)
Good luck with new camera :)

great use of recycling of bricks :o) I like that idea, it looks really good. well done on all your efforts including the camera work.

Your all very generous with your comments and it does make me feel good.
Herbgard I just layed them on sand then did a dry mix of 1 part cement and 3 sand and swept it between the bricks then fine sprayed with water left for half a day and fine watered again - seems to have done the trick.I left a few bricks out of the second layer to act as a step up (I`d run out of bricks anyway) so it seemed a good solution.
Paul, thats a good idea - shed paint - any particular make.

Well done Stroller the brick circles look excellent, and it is a great idea to leave bricks out to make a step up, enjoy your new seating area and your new camera;0)

Love the tiered circle. What good use for old bricks! And, I like the driftwood in the other pictures. It really blends with the garden. Enjoy your new greenhouse - and your new camera, Stroller.

Greenhouse looking great !
New camera getting lots of use now :o)

Way to go Stroller, you`ve made a great job of that, I always think a weathered look is better than new and pristine, your seating area looks very welcoming.
Your greenhouse fits into its space perfectly, you do realise you`ll be completely hooked now , I know it doesn`t take long to fill them up as I can see you are already doing, you enjoy it.,
You`ve done well with your new camera, I shall expect lots of lovely pics whilst you practice...

Lovely photos Sandra, the seating area looks lovely, as does the rest of your garden. I can see that a lot of work has been done to achieve it. The Bergenias look really nice too, I look forward to mine looking as good. :o)

You've just transformed your seating area - what an improvement! An inspiration.

Your new greenhouse is great. Plenty of room to grow lots of nice things.
And I like your new table area too. Looks much better now :o)

Wow its like a garden makeover. It all looks wonderful Stroller you should be very proud.

Love it Stroller, well done! :))

Thats looking really smart Stroller. I really like your wall to the right of your seating area too. I could just imagine a few nice alpines in those crevices if it were mine!

Well done, the brick circle is a work of art.

What a lovely change! I do like recycling!

I used Ronseal one coat Stroller - I wanted to build a wall but had no bricks - as I smashed some concrete up I found 40 bricks underneath (fate ah ) they were really old and the paint made them look brand new :))

Well done what a transformation looks lovely :))))

What a transformation Stroller it's looking great )))))...

Wel with all yur comments I feel I`ve done the right thing.
Poppylover, I made the wall with old broken paving slabs, and latter in the year its almost covered with chocolate vine and hopefully this year with wisteria.
Paul at least you had the good luck of finding the bricks after the hard work.

Wow what a difference it looks brilliant! You put me to shame. I can really see the difference in your pics too Stroller, your new camera takes much clearer, sharper pics. What type is it and is it easy to use? :-)

Thanks BA, unfortunately I can`t say I like the new camera I find it quite heavy to handle, its a Panasonic Lumix FZ38, but then I was used to a pocket size digital.

Mines a tiny Finepix J20, very simple, but after seeing all the lovely photos on GOY I can see the difference in quality and as I'm going to need a new one soon I'm on the lookout for a replacement, but MUST be easy and uncomplicated and small:-)

What a fantastic transformation, it looks lovely. And your Bergenia is lovely, mine hasn't flowered this year :-(

Wow Stroller! you certainly did a great job or two there! Well done....can you come down here and see to my pond please (the one that is still a figment of my imagination) :)))

Thanks Karen, I`ve a feeling that we shall be seeing photos of your " pond" later on in the year!!!

I'm on 'catch up' tonight, Stroller ... didn't you do well? ... I expect you're making good use of the Greenhouse already! ... Great to see your brickwork ... looks lovely ... :o)

Beautiful, stroller, looks like it has always been there :^)
