Way beyond the call of duty, don`t you think..

Well the garden looks fab, nothing urgent wanting doing out there that shows. Good luck with the decorating, looks like quite a task...

Hi Bamboo, its a horrible job and I`m working on my own, I learnt many years ago not to let hubby loose with the decorating, he`s ok with painting but too heavy handed with the wallpapering, its two sheets up and three on the floor I`m afraid and its expensive enough as it is, lol, if I win the lottery tomorrow I`ll let someone else carry on..

I hate stripping and papering, but I love painting walls, so rather you than me, Lincslass - hope you're going to publish the finished result.

Well done you. My sweet peas have only just started to flower, mind you, I was very late with them. Garden looking good Lincs Jx

That was a long tea break, Lol.
Dont blame you though, I would want to be out there all the time.
Love that first piccy of the whole garden, what a lovely view to look out on :-)

I think you are very noble giving up garden time to strip ...it really is one of the worst jobs in the house. It has no reward unlike decorating 'cos it looks worse once you've done it. So well done you. Your garden is looking great. Is that magnificent willow in your garden or is a 'borrowed' one? I love your sweetpeas, they look lovely, making me wish I'd grown some this year:-)

Your garden is jsut beautiful! GOod luck with the decorating! :)

Sweetpeas obviously like our summer Jane, my everlasting ones are still producing masses of flowers as well.
I had to force myself to go back indoors Willi, lol..
Ba you are so right, the state of the walls now the paper has gone will be the incentive to get the job done, the Weeping Willow is in our garden, I have a love/hate relationship with it, I love to see it swaying in the wind but hate the mess it makes dropping fronds all the time, plus the fact it drinks all the moisture out of the ground, every few years I root prune it, thats a tough job but its determined to get at our bottom pond, lol...
Thanks Pixi, if I disappear you`ll know I`m lost amongst the wallpaper..

Or getting plastered! lol

you have certainately earned your rest.Garden is looking brilliant and a good job done on the stripping.well done:))))

your garden looks great, thats the part i dont like when it comes to decorating (stripping wallpaper)

Rather you than me, Lincs! I let hubby get on with the decorating and I would probably paste each strip of paper for him. Your gardens looking lovely.

I have been doing a lot of house decorating too Lincslass......you seem to have longer tea breaks than me!!!

Thankyou Mark and Clarice, Rose its better if he`s kept out of the way, lol; Snoop we`ve lived here for over 40yrs, the dog is Morgan, he actually belongs to our daughter but thinkshe belongs to all of us, lol, he is a lovely natured fella..
Linda the sun was out so it was hard to go back indoors..

I preffer the garden views :o)
But I suppose the inside is important too. I hope you've finished it by now ...

You have a beautiful garden, all the best with decorating..:))
