I am so looking forward to the spring and summer, and thought to share a few pictures of my garden, and how it looked last year.
I have felt a bit under the weather and have not worked on any projects for my blog .
I just did not have the energy-. These are the sort of glasses I could have done with...so I could have a nice snooze without people noticing........hahaha.. I am sure a rest would do me good!!
Above the glasses picture is the view you see from the French windows that lead into the back garden.
The statue with no head is a statue of Flora, the goddess of flowers, something which had been throw away.
I thought it perfect so saved it and it now stands very happily amongst the geraniums and the mint.
This is the terrace with a view to the back garden.
I have plans to replace the horrible concrete slabs and would love to make a concrete and pebble floor like this which I saw in the grotto in Stourhead
It's just a matter of finding the time, as I know more or less how I would do it.
Here below is the arch leading to the back garden....
I just wanted to let you know as well I was very much delighted to receive an Blog Liking Award today from one of my sweetest blog friends, Mariette, who has a lovely blog, called Mariettes back to basics

And here is the front and the side-garden ..you can read about how I made this garden here.
This is to the side as well. The wicker screens are all planted with a vigorous and quick growing rose, "Albertine".So I am hoping for masses of pink roses there...as soon as possible!! You can tell I am a very patient person, right !!
And here is one of the three apple-trees I planted. Apples and roses, what more do you want !!I just wanted to let you know as well I was very much delighted to receive an Blog Liking Award today from one of my sweetest blog friends, Mariette, who has a lovely blog, called Mariettes back to basics

Beautiful. I agree with Gabriela...you have a magical place!
How beautiful your garden is. I like the white furniture so much better than the black, bronze, and brown that is currently proposed by designers. I also have white outdoor furniture, arbours and trellises. I was going to ask if your terrace stones were slate, they look so nice. They seem to be weathered,and look just fine. Don't bother changing them.
not sure if i would ever leave your gardens! beautiful. i host a garden party on Thursday's & would love to have you come by to peek around or even link up?!? hope to see you sometime! xoox, tracie
