A QUICK VISIT…..

Great to hear from you again DD! Sounds as though lots has been happening in your garden while you've been keeping a low profile! Would we still recognise it? It will be good to see the result of all the changes when you can beat the technology into submission!

Thanks Stera…it has been a busy couple of years….trying to cut down on all the onerous tasks….we are not getting any younger…
Hello Meadow thanks for your lovely comments l have missed you all….it has been busy but productive….

Lovely to hear from you DD and i hope you are staying well. I will look forward to seeing any of your photos when you get the time to post.
Pleased you are in touch with Karen. I have missed you both.

Ditto to the above Dd. I wondered what had become of you. A lot going on in your life & garden it seems!

Good evening DD!!! Lovely to hear from you and how things have been going for you this year! Sounds like you've been very busy indeed.

It’s lovely to have you back Angela … NOW we understand what kept you away for so long … phew! You have both worked so hard, I hope you can now have a bit more rest during the winter - like Monty!

Thanks for the news about Karen .. I will try to find her on Instagram 🙂.

Sounds like you've really 'gone for it', DD, the changes sound intriguing. I shall look forward to photos later. Sounds like some R & R are in order over the winter months! Good to hear from you again.

Lovely to see your name on here once again and I hope that all is well with you and your family.
My goodness you have been really busy but I bet you are pleased with what you have achieved!
Looking forward to seeing you again! Hope the bulbs are planted and yes, it is something to look forward to.

Hello lovely to see you are back Denisexx

Hello Angela, lovely to see you here again. It is difficult to keep up with everything sometimes but it's nice to be in touch with old friends :)
I can understand your garden having undergone some changes, mine also, but we have to move with the times and make things easier for ourselves.
I hope your bulbs give a good display in the spring ... lovely photo of an Aster .

Hi Dd lovely to see you and also look forward to seeing your changes always inspirational. Also congrats and regards to Karen :-))

Wow…you have been busy.. I can understand the need to make things a bit easier to manage, we’ve been doing a few alterations too. I am looking forward to seeing how your ‘new’ garden is shaping up.

Nice to see you back on here DD and looking forward to seeing pictures of your garden!
Best wishes to Karen! I am going to be a great grandma for the first time! Can't wait!

Please send my best wishes and congratulations to Karen. I missed so many of our good friends on here.
Congratulations Rose..

Thanks Homebird2 !

First things first many congratulations Rose… you join the exclusive great grandparents club!
A big thank you …for all your very sincere comments…. I have missed GOY….”I won’t tell a lie “ Nessa quote (Gavin and Stacey) …….I joined in 2009! seems like a lifetime ago now…
My head gardener as I now call him will be 86 on the 17th November…….yet he still spends an average of three hours a day working in the garden….. far more energy than I have….we are both pleased with the way it is developing though…. I promise to put more photos on as and when!
Hywel the Aster is Mönch….and it is still flowering now….one of the best…
Thanks again for all your lovely welcoming comments…
Angela

Hello Angela,it's so lovely to have you back again,I did message one of our Goy friends,to ask if she knew how you were,a little while ago.Glad you are well,and enjoying all the new changes in your garden,to make life easier for both you,and your OH ! :o)
Take care,and I'm looking forward to seeing your 'new look 'garden..xx

Thank you Dotty! Can't wait!

Great to hear that you are both well. Your garden must be unecognisable from my visit all those years ago! I smiled when I read about the Bamboo escaping to next door - that's one plant I would never, ever plant again, such a thug!! Take care, keep safe and well . . . :o))x

Hi there Bloomer….hopefully you are well…we go back a long way don’t we?
Shirley the garden would be unrecognisable…….we are still trying to make it more manageable…… not easy 🤔 as well as keeping the house from falling down!

That's not sounding good! Subsidence issues?

Hi Angela,we are fine,thank you,and yes,we certainly do go back a long way.:o) Lots of Happy memories of the last 13 years, ? Oh my, how time flies,and I hope it's not too serious about your House ! :o( xx

DD, Sorry, to have misses your posting on here in November. Glad to hear P. and yourself are keeping well.
Like the Aster. Take care.
