    Yes 1964, we have lived here since 1970. and were able to purchase two parcels of land to the rear, over two redundant railway lines, our pride and joy.

    Nanny, We love getting lost out in the garden, in fine weather most of our visitors don't bother to call at the house they come straight up the back, there is a fair size veg plot as well as the borders, and a nice 10 by 10 by 13 foot wooden glasshouse, for bringing on seeds and tender plants through the winter then of course at this time of the year tomatoes,

    Ive got 3 greenhouses, a 2x6 and 6x8 which were already here, and we added another 6x8 last year

    On a wet and or miserable day the glasshouse is a safe haven, over the years I have exhibited plants and flowers, chrysanths for many years, so the glasshouse was a must, and start off most of the veg in modules in it, besides taking cuttings to replace perrenials, in previous houses had smaller glasshouses, this is my biggest, the pic is of last years Angelines not very good this year bad year for white fly.image
