Been a while.

Looks really lovely, also i quite like the new fence silver, goes nice with your patio :^)

Just love the new fence, I'd leave it as it is rather than paint it :)

Oh wow! Bill, what a brilliant job(s). I love your fence...very 'art deco' isn't it?! Wonderful. I like it silver I must say and think it would look good in blue as well if you really want to paint it. I would leave it...less work! Your gravel garden is amazing too...what a difference. And the views of the whole garden look great. Jobs well done..enjoy now! :))

Thanks. Daylily, suzywonkles (great name) (hope its not your real one lol) and Karensusan.. It cost me a fair bit of money because of the cost of steel so i don't want to make the mistake of painting it if i don't need too. Most people are saying leave it silver so i may just do that.. Still got a fair bit to do at the very back so not quite time to sit and enjoy yet karensusan.. Thanks all :-)

I really like the railing around the patio and the gravel area looks grand, in fact the whole garden does....

Very imaginative - looking really good, and that fence is unique. I would leave it silver, for now at any rate. You can always paint it in a year or two if you get tired of it, but just now it looks great. I hope you will find time to sit in your lovely private corner!

Thanks Lincslass...It is nice to share pictures with such lovely people. We all love our own gardens and have our own ideas of what we like and it is thrilling when we do something and people post nice comments.Sometimes people might not like what we do but are never negative which gives us the boost to keep going and trying in our own way.

Thanks Steragram. I have to leave it for a little while for a reason i cant remember right now. I think i shall have to concentrate on getting my bathroom plastered and a new bathroom suite now. Or do i buy a summerhouse? lol

Lovely.....:)))

Hello, Bill, So nice to see you back again. My word, you've been busy - I LOVE that fence! Personally, like Steragram, I'd leave it silver, too. The garden's looking pretty good, as well.

Thanks Gattina, nice to hear from you too,and your nice comments. I've not been on here for quite some time until today and so far i have been on it on and off for nearly 8 hours. I can't always come on because i work a 60hour week so i have to make the most of it when i can.

Ha thanks Bill, no its not my real name, my real name is Sue, but suzywonkles was a nickname from when I was a child, think my Dad started it lol.

I love your new seating area Bill, are you going to put something up your pergola...if you'll pardon the expression?.....Your garden looks lovely...a good party garden...are we all invited?:-)

Leave it silver .. it is lovely ..
Garden looking good, Bill. Great design:o)
I'm adding the blog to GoYpedia.

I had a feeling that wasn't your real name Suzywonkles lol.
Thanks Bornagain,yes lol i'm shoving something up the pergola there are around 8 different tiny clematis growing up the posts and a wisteria waiting to be put back in the ground. Of course everyone is invited bring a fork and we can have a lawn aeration party lol..
Thanks Terra general feedback is just as you say leave silver so me thinks i will (thank the lord for that i dont want to be sat on my knees painting for hours)

Not the sort of party I was hoping for:-( Look forward to seeing your pergola in the summer then:-)

your garden looks beautiful Bill, think I would leave the new fencing as it is, it looks great

Thanks Yorkshire.. I will leave it till until i am on holiday again and then decide, but i'm leaning to keeping it silver

A lawn aeration party! Think I'll have one of those too - any takers?

I'm up for it Steragram lol

Do we all have to wear stillettos?

Erm i was thinking of just using a fork myself but if you can get size 10 mens boots with heels i might just wear them. but only for the goodness of the garden you understand..

Looking forward to the blog then:-)

Thanks Homebird.. I'm glad most people are saying leave it silver because i can see it being a real pain to paint. Who knows though when i have no plants to plant in the summer i might get bored and dig out the paint brush. Hopefully all the clematis will survive being pushed around by the gravel and will grow up the posts.
Bornagain, if we did have the party i'm not sure i would post a post lol..
