Thank you very much for your kind comments ladies. I forgot to mention, that the money goes to our local hospice the Cransley Hospice........Thank you all once again, it has been worth it, and of course it's friends like yourselves, who gives all the support that one needs. God Bless you all....:-)

Aww sweet, but where are the pics, Louis? That's cruel, you know!

Tony Hadley well done Madperth, as soon as I saw the name I remembered Spandau ballet

x xx

I'm very sorry Madperth, but we were so busy, that at times, people had to wait and let other people go pass. I spend all day talking to virtually, every visitor, as they had something to ask, about plants and various projects..... Will you forgive me???? .......... :-)

Well at least. you sorted yourselves out, who I look like. At least you didn't say Pierce Brosnan from Mama Mia, like a couple of ladies said to me lol !!!

Well....I won't mention Pierce Brosnan (though he did flit through my mind, lol)...but just want to say a very big "WELL DONE!" for supporting your local Hospice Louis...you are indeed a star!!

Thank you so much Di, for your kind comments ...... Oh by the way, would you like my autograph ........ wish I had his money hahaha!!!!!

Nah... not if you've no money, Lol :))

hahahaa............

Nah, definitely Tony Hadley, not pretty enough to be Pierce Brosnan! LOL!
Yes Louis, I'll forgive you, since it's the price of your success!
especially when it was for such a good cause!

Thanx 4 that Louis :)

you're welcome Jacque :-)

:D

Well done, Louis, I'm glad everything went well. Your garden always looks so nice and I can well imagine all the questions you had to answer, so no time for photos, pity though! ;-))

Thank you Silverbelle, and I'm sorry I did not take any pictures as I was much too busy with the visitors. I was a success, I'm please to say.........:-)

If your pictures are anything to go by it's no wonder it was a success Louis. They show a well loved and cared for garden, also they show how much work you've put into it. And I for one would have been very surprised if it hadn't been a success. Well done....;- )

Thank you Silverbelle. I do gardening as a proffesion and as a hobby, so once I come home from a client,,,,yes, you guessed right.....I'm out in my garden LOL !!! I seriously enjoy the garden........... :-)

aaahhh.......I see.........you have the best of both worlds. A job you love and a hobby to match. You are very lucky.
Do you design the gardens for your clients?

Yes I do Silverbelle... I design and build the garden for the client. I used to be a projects engineer untill I was made redundant, and at my age, I could not get a job, so decided to to gardening and other DIY jobs for a living, and I'm pleased it turned out to be very well indeed. True to say, I do enjoy my work....it's like getting paid for ones hobby :-)

Now, that can't be a bad thing. I hope your clients appreciate the work you put in.
Do you revisit the gardens, or is it 'once it's done, it's done'!

Some of the gardens, I do visit them and look after them if need be, but others, just do it and that's it, but sometimes, they do call me back for other minor things. Most of the work I do, is by "word of mouth", which is what I like.....

I'm sure that makes you feel very much appreciated. People wouldn't recommend you if they weren't satisfied with your work.
Wish you lived nearer, I've got loads of jobs to do!! lol

Thank you Silverbelle, you're most kind, Bless You......:-)

You're welcome... :-)
