Pam's garden is amazing, so is her back garden which I saw on another thread. The other Pam's cottage is lovely, so is the rainbow view. God promised not to send Noah another flood and sent the rainbow as a sign, but I don't think he could have meant in England. England wasn't mentioned in the Bible.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
FInished my book, couldn't resist it. The Little House by Phliippa Gregory, It must have come with a Woman & Home, I got it in the charity shop. Excellent read. The house is full of books, I must sort them out. I like to pass them on. Nothing like a good read and I have done a lot over Chrissie.
It's sort of sad when the decorations come down, don't you think? I quite tlike the holly, ivy and Xmas branches in a big vase, still in good condition, seems a shame to throw them out. I might just take the baubles off. Is tat allowed?
My pot of Christmass hyacinths is out and smelling lovely. Some people say they smell of cat pee, I love them.
Time for marking now. I will pop back when I get bored
Bjay -what you need to do is create beds that you can work from all sides -so my suggestion is to create some arcs or semi-circles around the edges then you have an area of grass in the middle-also in the middle -create a feature a bird -bath something like that-keep it simple and easy to maintain
Get away from the straight borders you have now or others may have.
Any good?.
You can have that for free-Jo Swift would have charged £500
I had already thought curved borders, First I thought make each one separate curved, then in bed last night, when I couldn't sleep AGAIN I thought if I made a big curved border with the path as the center it would look good. Then I thought zzzzzzzzz
I quite like idea of having bright colours - reds, yellows, not pastels. See talking to you lot I think an idea is coming. I do not want silly beds each side of the path with lavender/box and I don't think I want a cottage look , not sure there though. Where is Joe Swift when you need him!!
I think Spain would suit you well, Geoff. A friend of a friend moved there, near Alicante, and they love it. Although they are in their 70's the husband is still really active and earns a bit of pocket money doing odd jobs and airport runs for the neighbours. You'd make a fortune out there. As for the hospitals, his wife broke her hip and complications set in and she was unconsious for ten days. She is now back home. In this country she might have been put on the Liverpool Care Pathway.

Morning all
We have 3 new flood warnings out in the area
so it's not over yet!
Lovely gardens, I want a front garden like PamLL.
Come on you Forkers, loads of ideas for my front garden please,
Gong to have another attempt with tumble dryer shortly, I have completely de-fluffed it!
Hope it doesn't mean a new one!
2nd thought I would love a pretty, breath taking front garden but with less work than PamLL
Something to add charater to the house, and make it stand out from the other 16!

I checked my bargain hyacinths this week-I think they need a few more weeks of the cold dark treatment
Glyn-tat is allowed-you can have as much tat as you like
Tatty-bye for now

Or triangles on each edge perhaps -that is £100 you owe me-invoice on its way.
Triangles?
, Good morning again all,
Popping in during tea break.
