OK Jeannie, next time I am in Inverness I will call in and sort it. Put a small tree there a couple of bushes there and there, already you are splitting the garden into windows with differing views, a 90 degree angle of low hedge just short sections will put a corner in enclosing yet not doing so. A small bed there with tall flowers at the back with support against the stiffish breeze and lower planting there, a small section of pave enough for a couple of seats in the warmest area and you have rooms, views, less of an open area, more a continuation from the outside in. sorted. The bill is in the post.
Frank/Dad - remember to take her some carrot cake In Scotland it's 1 of our 5 a day...Jean I'm in west and in central belt but high so I understand the probs. I think the key to designing is to list things you DON'T like first whether it's colour, shapes or maintenance and then look at aspect and requirements. That narrows it down a bit. If you start listing what you like -well we all know what happens then, you're re mortgaging the house after a trip to the nursery.. Right I'm off to get the shopping........
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

And they serve a "Glasgow Salad" with everything (bowl of chips!)
Actually that's not true up here, there's lots of quality grub around.
That last statement is true Jeannie I found plenty of McD's and Colonel Chicken shops even a few domino's. I had a wonderful meal at the Hotel overlooking Loch Lomond on a glorious sunny evening. I ate Bonny Prince Charlie cooked by a top chef followed by a delicious pudding and of course some lovely single malt later, costly but worth it for the glorious food and view. Never did find out why we were eating Charlie, must have been some left over after the battle. Inverness was a marvelous place for good food we went to a different place each night and were never once disapointed, a bit like London, the world on a plate.
Fairygirl/Daughter, "you are going shopping" what is the matter with you woman, it is Good Friday even us just south of the border Reivers do not steal cattle and women on Good Friday!!!!! I am off to the Vale of York an Engagement Party for my Grandson and welcome home party for Granddaughter home from Canada for a few days, I may be gone some time.
Jean- my daughter covers everything in tomato sauce- that counts as her 5 a day.. We have wonderful seafood in Scotland- but we export tons of it instead of eating it Come on Scots...get a grip! Venison..yumyum

I seemed to have missed this thread completely and it's such fun. I have very clear pictures of everyone I come across on the forum; all completely inaccurate I'm sure.
Verdun, quite thin, rather academic and slightly eccentric?
GG is sensible and doesn't stand any nonsense, likes to be in charge; ex school teacher perhaps?

I could go on but the garden is calling
Artj- it's what's been keeping us entertained in this weather! I'm dainty and frivolous don't you know....
