You are very talented @Valley Gardener. My painting talents stretch to trellis and skirting boards. I like the beach one. I think you should attempt a hedgehog....
Thank you so much @AnniD @ Fran IOM@Purplerain I'm down in Dorset now! I usually paint stuff,cards,pebbles small oils,and I think the cards get sold for £2.50 Which I was horrified at,I thought a quid was good! Paintings have been auctioned,but I need another outlet as the congregation is only about 25/30 ! Now need a break from Cats!! No doubt I'll get that as the garden takes over!!
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
Poor Tarw got bitten,we think by a rat! However he's now on the mend,and smiling again. I'm posting some pics of my garden on here as there are too many to put on @nultyPhilips Cottage Garden! I don't want to take liberties 😊😊
Really just to show how behind everything is! I've put edging stones each side of the paving today,and it's tidied it up a bit. @Fran IOM one of the moon gazing Hare again for you. Bees on the chives,I counted five different ones. My pathetic white Poppy,finally managed to unfurl itself today,and the bees are squabbling inside it! Giant Alliums have just come out at the back of the fairy,and the red rose is "Mushimara". Two nice English Lavenders at the top of the steps,they've doubled in size from last year,so looking forward to their flowers. Can you see the B+Q bird feeders.......shaped like bullets!!
Little wildlife pond still busy with tadpoles,and I've put drinking water for the bees,and anyone else who needs it without risk of drowning! I just wish it looked a bit nicer!

Lovely photos @Valley Gardener, it's a very pretty garden - and very tidy . l like the chives, (as do the bees !). I must get some for my garden (although heaven knows where l'd put them). Managed to spot the hare as well. I see what you mean about the bullet bird feeders ! Poor Tarw, let's hope he doesn't attempt to take on a rat again.Glad he's recovering.
Thank you @Jacquimcmahon,on both counts! My dear friend,Tarws owner,was taken to hospital just after he got bitten,so it's been a fraught time for all concerned,the wound is clean,and he's eating again,thankgoodness.It was treated with an antibiotic powder.
My garden has evolved rather than been planned,18 months ago it was almost entirely covered with a great expanse of rotting decking,and about 5ft of the wall had tumbled down!

Looks lovely @Valley Gardener and I can see all the effort that has gone into it. It's quite magical and I do believe that fairies live there. Poor Tarw. Are you looking after him as his owner is in hospital? See you on the other thread.
