Lovely pics Wonky. Only one of my dahlias has flowered so far but I hope yesterday's deluge will have broken teh drought enough t get them going.
Berghill - your garden is looking great. I love all the nooks and crannies and changes of style round each corner. Am I right in thinking you kept the pesky tabby kitten after all? Has she calmed down?
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Yes we still have the pesky kitten and no she has not calmed down much. She now is having to go out all night as the other two were so stressed out with her that they spent all night trying to escape and they do not like going out at night.
She even jumps on our neighbours huge, brute of a cat as well. He runs away from her too and she is half his size.
The design is fairly simple but the bit along the right hand side is still to be finished. That's where the house extension is going so I couldn't go any further - hence the old bit of fence still there and the slabs etc. There will be gravel path there like the rest and it goes right round the back of the screen.
RB - The white buddleia had to come out - it's temporarily still there on the right hand side - as it was right in the middle of where the path was going. It's about to flower - they really are indestructible!
Susan - no I made the screen from scratch. Daughter helped me a bit too. There was a dead tree in front of that area and I couldn't get the stump out, so I incorporated it into the planting beside the pond, which is in front of the screen.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Took this pic of my roses today as they looked so good, amazing really considering: they are actually outside the garden at the entrance next to the mailbox, under some chestnut trees (which I keep hacking back at), the ground beneath gets covered in creeping weeds from the fields and they hardly get any tlc. I did throw a big pile of manure on early in the year.

Glad you liked the garden folks.
