Rural Sussex on heavy clay surrounded by grass fields all of which is wet and soggy in winter. Big skies, good views, sunny and windy. I garden with wildlife in mind and try to attract as much as possible. I have a supply of cow manure which I use liberally.
Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.
About 400ft high on the eastern edge of Greater Manchester. Suburban, but just 100yds away is a deep river valley with woods and nature reserve and the other side of the valley rises up to a hill which is the start of the Peak district. Soil is heavy mildly acid clay, it rains a lot. the only thing I water in summer are plants in pots or newly planted in the ground. Winters surprisingly mild, some neighbours have tall Cordylines.
Hi everyone. We can all be aerial photographers these day thanks to google. And if you make a shortcut (I'm in Vista BTW) for the snipping tool, you can hover above your houses and use snipping tool to make a jpeg piccy of your grand abodes.
Click on 'New' on your desktop, then 'Shortcut', then Browse double click on 'computer' choose local disk (your hard drive usually C), double click Windows, find your way (cursor down ) to System 32, double click and again down down to Snippingtool.exe. Press ok and voila you've a shortcut to this wonderful tool. I dragged mine into the bottom taskbar so as I could use it anytime (taskbar stays on top see).
It's a click drag and choose type tool, gives you a few options on as how to save your pic.

Don't actually have a picture of the view from our garden at present. Would be a bit like Lou's if I could get up high enough.

How did you do that, Hosta? I can't copy a Google image.

aym that means nothing to me, sorry. I printed the screen onto a Word document but I can't get it on here.
20 mins later, OH has showed me how to make it jpeg and put it in picture files so now I can use the oak tree. Let's see if it works.
Oh it's turned out very small!
