A QUICK VISIT…..

24 comments


Hello everyone…… thought I would just pop in and say Good Day…… I am still here and God willing hope to be around for a tad longer….. it’s lovely to see so many of the old faces Sue…Shirley.. Sheila Hywel… Linda…Paul.. Delonix…Homebird…Balcony…Kate….. Stera…. Feverfew…Meadow….Terra…Anget…Janey…etc..sorry if I have missed any of you off the list..my memory isn’t as good as it was!
It’s been a weird couple of years….to say the least! The garden has undergone many changes ( as usual!) arches removed…. 3 roses removed especially the huge rambling ones….far too much work for the head gardener despite investing in a safety ladder…. 6 large Dogwoods taken out! massive bamboo removed it had escaped into the neighbours garden…..new prairie planting added…. jungle reorganised…. grew lots of Dahlias…..won’t be growing that many again!…it’s been hard work…. but rewarding
The head gardener is busy planting bulbs……went a bit mad this year….well it’s something to look forward to isn’t it?
I follow Karen…Scottish Karen’s garden on Instagram…..she is well and going to be a Grandma….
When I have the energy I will upload some photos….unfortunately I no longer have my trusty Mac….so it is a bit complicated now….especially resizing using a mix of iPad and smart phone!
Lovely to see so many members still using GOY……

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!

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 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 .

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.

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

10 Nov, 2021

 

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!

6 Dec, 2021

 

That's not sounding good! Subsidence issues?

6 Dec, 2021

 

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.
