I'm really pleased with the way it is looking. I've been focusing on making it interesting, a little bit magic, and I think, at long last after almost 30 years, I'm just about there. There's really no reason not to make the most of any outside space. It doesn't have to be big - all you have to do is make it personal to yourself.
Sitting out in the afternoon with a beer in the sunshine, listening to the fountain in the pond and the wind chimes, watching the blackbird family shoveling meal worms into their beaks to take to their young - well, it's my idea of heaven.
A little piece of heaven in my backyard.

ReplyDeleteA slice of garden heaven and I'm sure I clocked a beer bottle neck as you panned around. Written from my allotment with a cheeky bottle of wine at 1.30 in the afternoon
Andrew Height
DeleteYou did indeed Mark.

ReplyDeleteI love your yard, I'm trying so hard to get my garden looking as good, but I don't think it will ever be as good as yours
Andrew Height
DeleteKathryn I'm lucky to have a walled garden, not big, but that makes you focus.

ReplyDeleteOh my I haven't seen a pond in a garden for years.
Andrew Height
DeleteI have three fish, one is very old. He's called Old Fish. A garden without the sound of water isn't a garden at all and I can't understand why people are so worried about children drowning in them - just raise them up.

DeleteMaggie, I found some opium poppy seedlings growing in the alley and have replanted them in my garden. It isn't illegal to grow opium poppies in the UK, but it is an offence to gather the sap from the seed pods. Excited to see how they come up.
