Decided to move the birdbath from its home in the border as it is hidden all summer with foilage and I cannot see the bath or the birds, So with the help of my Hubby it is now in its new home overlooking the patio rockery, I will now be able to watch the birds bathing and napping!

Your site for the birdbath looks a really good choice...
This patio rockery is very pretty, PP.
Lots of interest there :o)

Thanks Terra, I am going to enjoy it much better here, we bought it over 20 yrs ago and its got better with age, I have ordered some minature alliums to plant on the rockery which I think will fit in nicely with the other plants.

Thanks Grindle, just found a little problem the stone is starting to crumble on the part that holds the water, so we have a leak! found a dish to put inside until Hary sees if he can make it water tight!
2 Aug, 2009
Beautiful garden you lots of dedication has gone it to it, the bird bath look s lovely there, shame its leaking, hope your hubby will be able to fix it, with so many products on the market, I would say its fixable. I have a little bird bath also a bird station had my grandsons place it where I can sit and watch from my kitchen. Hope you see lots of birds bathing, its also a drink for them come winter or summer.

2 Aug, 2009
Lucky Harry ..Jane had me digging out borders today and was exhausted supervising me so had to cook tea for her when I got in ...yes can here all you ladies commiserate with her lol
2 Aug, 2009
Poor Jane its so hard supervising workers, so pleased to hear that you let her rest while you cooked the tea, hope she has recovered now. lol
3 Aug, 2009
sounds like this house Bonkers, my OH keeps telling me he's management :)))))))
3 Aug, 2009
So many chiefs and not enough indians PP ..aye Grindle I ve tried that one but Jane claims to carry the casting vote when management deadlocked...as she never agrees with me she advises me to vote with her in future and save myself a lot of grief lol.
3 Aug, 2009
LOL hnow that's the sort of answer I like :oD

Hi Carole, that's OK. I'm trying to get to grips with ground elder today! No easy task. I hope you manage to fix the leak, isn't there something you can buy ready mixed? Can you tell me, did I reply to your pm? I think I did (!) but don't know where to go here to find out!
4 Aug, 2009
Hi Irene Thats a job and half Ground Elder ugh! Harry has cemented the cracks and put silicone over it, but think its going in so many places that I bought a plant saucer inside to hold the water, not sure if I had a reply from you going to check my incoming mail, cant remember what my last one was about? but if you check your in and out mail, should be able to trace it! lol confusing at times isnt it?
4 Aug, 2009
Hello Carole, Found it! Silly me, should have looked there first. I replied on the 27th - conscience is clear now - lol
4 Aug, 2009
