Obelixx I thought I was organised for moving but sounds you are far more on it than me brilliant idea about the cats but guess you was lucky being able to move them in first. My boy cat hid for two days bless him. He is totally over it now!
I brought some of my plants with me too, about 50 pots! The removal man had kittens
loved your frosty pics BB and look forward to pond talk soon
rose mummy your tiles sound lovely, any pics?
Star gaze shame you missed the train comment till too late?!!! Xx
just wanted to share my front garden shabby chic dream that is now real, so happy
haven't had time to weed or cut back yet but you'll see I have found perfect spot for all my tin pots etc that I brought with me placed under the kitchen window
House looks lovely BM, just right for you. Love the planters, have had my eye on some metal ones for a while just not sure where I'd put them. Ive posted a piccy of more pink on the forkers thread especially for you.
I love the metal tubs and the blue pots. Lovely looking house and garden too.
I found some old galvanised laundry tubs in a street market here a few years ago. The biggest and widest (mini bath tub style) has been painted a satin black and has been used as an ice bucket for beers when we had big BBQs but now we have a drinks fridge so it can become a planter. Then there's a straight sided one I painted red and green and stencilled with gold snowflakes to hold the Xmas tree and one more to paint up or leave natural. Decisions decisions.
Whilst walking the dogs the other day I found an 8" square, slightly rusty, cream metal bird cage which I rescued. It'll look great with a trailing plant or candle in it.

That's why people have a loft, so you can keep things for later, or 'just in case'! I keep a lot of things
