Fun in the Sun

You have been busy again, Lulu - I love your curved patio bed and how nice of Sluggy pup to give a hand! I don't think I would have trusted that platform in the woods, it does look a bit precarious :)

Brilliant parrott mosaic, the colours are stunning.

Lulu, you've done a great job cutting your lawn and all the borders are trimmed to perfection....lots of effort there!

I'm glad you gave that platform a miss....just from looking at the photo it does look a bit dodgy and unstable!

The pups are well accommodated on their patio rug and moving Millie's house/hutch so near to your patio door is real progress.....so happy pooches and happy kitty too.

Your photo of the "natural" mosaic (above the parrot photo) is especially appealing to me....I like the colours very much...let's see a finished photo when you're all done, Lulu.

Lovely to see your wonderful spacious garden Lulu and all the hard work you've been putting in is going to pay off big time! I thought you'd be at the races all week....good for you, doing your own thing! :)

Thank you girls for your comments on this huge garden! It's almost too big for me now!!
Races tomorrow Karen! Thank goodness I didn't go today as I got to bed at 5am!! I just hope it's a lovely sunny day tomorrow like today but I hear we may have rain tonight, which will be good for all those Iris's I planted today!
Yes that ladder and platform were a little risky! Hope they haven't harmed the tree by nailing into it?
Gee, NO! Sluggy is so not a help! But it's kinda cute!!

lovely blog Lulu--I was trying to decide which bit I liked best-- the pups or the mares & foals --flowers-- all your hard work--well jut All of it!!

worn me out reading it lulu, lots going on there and the pups are so helpful lol, going to be lovely come summer, foxgloves i just try to remove all old leaves but if you see there are baby plants near big one then dig them out and plant else where, think you could split daylillies now before they flower or wait till after, dont think it matters lulu.

best time to divide is usually now Lulu - great blog - you have a big and pretty garden - the grape hyacinths are very good indeed :):)

great blog Lulu, it must take you ages to mow that lawn and the flower beds are coming along nicely.
Where do you get all your bits and bobs for the mosaics, I love the piece of mirror for the new one.

super blog lulu..sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much work..so committed well done you..really like the patio border im hoping to see more of that as it progresses..

now for tomorrow..cheltenham, Fakenham or Lingfield..? well i will be at Cheltenham and im looking forward to splashing a tenner on ski sunday in the 2.05..

good luck wherever you go and thank you for the great blog

Ok that's my w/end job then dividing!
Teds all the bits I find on the beach, in rivers, charity shops and stalls. The stained glass I have to buy though and it's very expensive!

your garden is looking lovely lulu, you've worked really hard.

Yes, lots of hard work, but it's fun really, isn't it?! :)) Love the little foals.

Lulu, this blog has just about everything! Love the foals as much as the garden. I love the blue flower in the first mosaic, such a gorgeous colour. Just mentioned Cheltenham to OH and he says to ask if the cake stalls still sell the 'Cheltenham Double Dribbler' ? It's a type of Lardy cake that the Irish used to enjoy apparently! Can you imagine the calories in one of those? lol ... Enjoy the races tomorrow. : o ))

Your flower beds are coming along nicely. They will look a picture in the summer time :)
I don't like strawbs either - yach ! can't stand the things lol
Nice to see all dogs enjoying too :o) and to see another mosaic taking shape.

How do you manage to fit it all in Lulu ? Your garden is enormous and what with your mosaics and animals as well you must be kept very busy.

Your dogs are lovely - I love how they all snuggle up together.

Let's hope we get some more sunny days - happy gardening.

They are very snuggelly dogs Mariek! And yes, it's a busy time of year! I will find out in a couple of weeks whether I have a stall at a 3 day Cheltenham race meeting, if I do, I will be very busy indeed!
I shall have to have a look for the Lardy cake Shirley, will let you know!
I think the dogs were getting a little bored Hywel! I can almost hear them sigh when I get my gerdening kit together!

Hi Lulu33, Thanks for showing us your garden, and the Pups, they are so cute, and i love the Micro Musaic , Miniaturs are fun to do.

ooooh lardy cake ~ i love it!! they used to make it in the black country [north west of birmingham? ] in huge trays.

Stop it ... no more calorie-laden food to be mentioned ... even though I started it ... lol! : o )

All that space Lulu ..you are doing a fantastic job keeping on top of it all ! These are great photos. I love your mosaics, they are so unusual.

Thanks Judy! Thank goodness for sit on mowers!

Lovely blog dog',horse's, grape hyacinths and mosaic's all looking great :-)

Lol...I would love a sit on mower, though nowadays it would only be for show, as we have hardly any grass left ! :)

Thanks Mavis. Funnily enough I needed a brooch today, so am wearing the parrot!!
And Judy you can have some of my grass!

Lol !
