Many congratulations to you both,Angela..what a wonderful achievement,and so well deserved ..xxx

Well I think that's very much deserved! Have you made a decision on whether to open next year yet? We have decided to do four days in one week next year and parties of 6 or more by arrangement. I think it will work a lot better for us. :) Congratulations :)

clever you ... you have done us all proud

Gg

Well done.

Oh well done, DD. Good things come to those that wait......or love their garden!!

Thank you Eirlys, Dr, Gnarly, Sandra, Balcony, Amy, HB........for all your lovely comments.
Karen many thanks we are not opening next year, taking a year out, having a rest from all the pressure of getting the garden immaculate etc.....we have several jobs we want to do, so we can take our time doing them..
Hywel we have put in mostly shrubs, particularly evergreen ones, also a large half barrel pond, with pond plants in and around the barrel, we had a smaller one outside the kitchen window, which we have now removed, we are changing that area also!! all go..... the pond arrives on Wednesday, hopefully the hole will be dug by then!!

Sounds interesting !

Very pleased for you both, well done. It's good to take some time out & just get on with things as they arise.
Always another year to open up!

Good for you...you so deserve a break after all the hard work you've done. :)

Thank you Karen and Feverfew.....

Dotty, I am really pleased for the pair of you, well done!

Thank you very much Shirley, we really did not expect to come away with the top award, thought we might scrape a silver!!
