Should have said-no not a mansion but a Victorian house with a bit of land-some of it quite wild. Would have been a long term plan. It was a mistake but I've lived to tell the tale!
I miss the pond and the wildlife though.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Fairygirl what a great garden you had in your last house going by the photo's must have been hard leaving it all behind. Am sure when your finished your new garden it will be just as nice as my father always said to me never look back always look forward that's what i do now good luck.
Thank you everyone for your kind messsages. It means a lot to me.
Yes B-Lizzie- I was very sad - but it was more about what it represented as much as the garden itself. It's hard lookingat the pix at all but it's a catharsis as well...
New garden couldn't be more different! Grass, gravel, slabs and fences. The only bit for plants will be coming out to make way for extension but it means the garden will get bigger as I will be able to bring in what is just grass just now and make it a bit bigger. Will try and put some pix on . Most of my plants are in pots just now!
New challenge!

Fairygirl, enjoy your challenge - I'm sure you will. I've just started planting out my potted specimens that I was assembling last year when I began to plan the 'new bit' after years of neglect.

...^me too!..
...such lovely grounds, I'm wondering if Fairygirl lived in a mansion...
this was part of the renovation-putting in a path
alongside so that we could get right along the pond to the other end.

Stunning
What a lot of progress Dannyboy, thanks for showing us.
Your garden looked wonderful Fairygirl, but I hope you aren't too sad parting with it. What is your new garden like?

This was my alpine pan with a little cyclamen
