At last! A lovely day in the garden! Planted up four troughs with alliums and pansies and did lots of little maintenance jobs in the glorious fresh air and sunshine. Then had to get ready to visit OH's elderly sister in hospital and ws just getting myself together to leave when my neice texted me to say she ws going to visit with her two daughters. Reprieve! So now I have time to look at the forum. Lovely!
Hello I'm home, fed and watered - I've inspected the garden, no seeds emerged yet, but the clematis and honeysuckle leaf buds are bursting - no seeds up yet but the pelargonium cuttings look healthy - that's the garden inspection done for today - feet up now ready to watch the Hairy Bikers and Masterchef - it's ok, there's room on the sofa for you lot too
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Mine only took a week on kitchen windowsill so they'll be good and ready when the time comes to stick them outside. Looking forward to that! I do like alliums...oh dear i'm not going to be able to resist going to GC/nursery
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
When we lived in England our house was listed (in Kent). We were allowed a conservatory on condition it was in oak and brick with leaded light windows. But that was 1982.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I live in an elderly bungalow that we bought fairly cheaply a few years ago because it needed a lot of of renovation. The renovation is still ongoing, ten years later - we like renovating properties, but bit off more than we could chew (financially) this time. It did mean we could build a large conservatory, which doubles as a dining room and garden room. And laundry drying area...and dog kennel...and, since the demise of the greenhouse, seed and cutting bringer-on-er... It is, in many ways, an ideal retirement bungalow, but, oh, I'm depressed by that idea. I'm ready for the next challenge, really - somewhere a bit further west and a bit more rural with a bigger garden, because I am in denial about being 66 and think I'm 27...

Would you be allowed a 'garden room' type of addition done to match existing stonework? (I'm assuming you have something like that on the exterior!)

Can I build a conservatory on to a first floor Housing Association flat?
Probably not.......

I'm 27 too GG, it is definitely the best age to be - I've always thought so, ever since 1979
