probably last day online before the move

That looks great,Fran..and you can see more of what is there now..what a difference :o)
That is one less thing to worry about,when you move in,isn't it? Good luck with the move next week..and I hope all goes to plan,as I'm sure it will..see you when you get connected again,take care,.xxx

thanks, dear! currently waiting for bloke from removal firm to visit so he can give me definite quote. hope he turns up soon, I'm almost out of milk!

Looking great now Fran good luck with move and wish you every happiness in your new home.

Good luck Fran, the garden looks lovely, look forward to all your news when you are back on air x

thanks Scot and Pam - hope the rest of it goes smoothly, or at least more smoothly than it has so far! lol I'll look back and laugh in later years, but not yet ...

Wow Fran, I got so excited when I saw your photos - Isn't that your dream come true? Even a shed! You won't know yourself. Will you be able to manage the beds at ground level? Actually its no use asking questions is it - will have to wait weeks for the reply. All the very best .

They've given you a good start there, Fran, it really looks good. Best wishes for the move, I hope all goes well and look forward to hearing all about it in due course :)

Good luck Fran ...
safe journeys ..
lovely to see the garden tidied ..

thank you Stera and Gee and TT.

lol there's two sheds, Stera, one from the HA (the key for that was on the house keys) and another that the previous tenenat must have had installed.

I think I'm going to have to raise some beds; depedns what's in them already. But different levels give more interest and more planting space, more scope for chaning the view.

one removal firm just did a visit: he's going to phone his boss and get him to send me a firm quote: told him it'd have to be today, as backup I'm arranging a visit from a second company'; one of htem should be able to work something.

oh heck!!! lol

thanks Snoop - *s* nice to know I'll have GoY neighbours, sort of, more or less!

lol, tea is the strongest drink I imbibe on a regular basis and there are times when I really *need* a calming cuppa!

Best of luck with your move, Fran! The HA bloke did a good job on your new garden! looks a great deal better for the work! Next year you'll be able to put your own stamp on it. LOL!

Looking forward to reading your blogs from Shropshire in the coming months. :-))

thanks, Balcony. Fun's going to be keeping it as neat as it is in the pics - still, can leave that till spring, at least! and then comes the reorgainsation ...

Good luck Fran, lets hope you are soon up and running again , they've done a good job with the garden it's looking much better .... :o))

All the best Fran, Shropshire is a lovely county, we very nearly moved there when our children were small.
Look forward to hear from in December... :-!

Sorry I'm late so you won't see this for ages. Will it really take so long to get connected? Just when you need it most of all. Hope you have a mobile phone, as that is best way to keep in touch.The garden is fantastic now it is cleared. Nicely layed out, just a question of being able to tweak it your way a bit. Lots of storage too.

All the best Fran. Hope you'll be as happy in your new home as I am in mine. X

Is that a garrya eliptica on the fence? We had one in a very similar position and it looked fantastic when the dining room lights shone out onto the tassels.
