We’re getting a new Garden!

I do like the pansy, very unusual.
It's a positive to start on the landscaping despite this unremitting foul weather. Onward and upward!

Indeed Ange! Thank you x

bog garden then?????

very exciting times ahead. Shame about the tiles you want not being available.

Thanks SBG. It was disappointing, but it will be for the best in the end.

Didn't rain yesterday in Plymouth, was starting to worry that they might have to introduce another hosepipe ban, phew, need not have worried as it is hammering it down again today. Hopefully though Karen, we all get a bit of a break from it and allows you to crack on and get your garden how you want it to look

Oh I do hope so Davey. I think the next 2 days will be ok.

Oh dear. But the weather is bound to get better for you soon, Karen, it is Spring after all.
Your last picture took me back to our own build, in 2018. They started in January, clearing everything, then laying patio, path etc. in the face of freezing rain, hail, snow and fierce winds. They needed a lot of hot tea. My OH asked Sam if he ever felt he’d chosen the wrong job. “Every winter!” was the reply. They finished in mid April. I’m sure yours won’t take so long …

Ooh Sheila! They reckon ours will take 3 weeks! So far, so good.

The weather has truly been against you Karen as it has with all of us but I do now hope that things will improve. Hope you had lovely sunshine yesterday to lift your spirits.

We did Chris! And again today. I’ll give it a few more before I start complaining it’s too hot!

Oh crikey, I do hope it improves for you, Karen. The weather has been so wet and we need some long dry spells!!!! I’m sure as you say, it’ll all work out as planned in time.
Surely, we will see an end to the ‘never ending’ rain and dreariness. We have had a few nice days, with mild warmish temperatures…sporadically though.
By summer, it’ll look so pretty and just as you had planned..

Thanks Kate. It has dried out well over these three dry days, and the landscapers found and unblocked the field drain that the builders put in. After that you could see the water running away like a stream! So that should make a big difference now.

So pleased you're on your way now Karen, and the blocked drain was sorted. You'll soon be planting up, how exciting!

Lovely to see you've moved near us than being miles away,
I haven't been on here for ages there's always something else to do, i just look in sometimes.
I've just been looking at your adventure love it.
Hope your both keeping well, what happened re the white dog which i can not remember it's name.

Hi Lesley! We are loving the South! And we still have Willow the Labrador. Sadly, Molly the white JRT passed away from heart failure during Covid. She is buried in Scotland and has gone to be with Grandpa!
