Thank you Pam and Costa:)

What a fantastic garden you have made out of the state it was in when you started, you should be very proud of your achievement, well done loved the photo's.

Thanks for your lovely comment John:)

John's spot on Nana! I can just imagine how much work it's been for you. I hope that all the changes you've gone through have been positive, but even hard changes turn out to be learning experiences in the end....eventually. Your garden is beautiful, tranquil and full of colour and creativity. It's lovely to see you again. :)

Ah thank you Karensusan it's been a difficult time in some ways three deaths of people near and dear but lots of lovely things too so not all bad and getting really excited about the wedding which seemed such a long time away is now just round the corner and I have met someone really nice who shares my love of gardening boating and fishing:)

Thanks Meadowland:)

Oh.....that sounds really tough Nana, but good stuff in there too, and hopefully loads to look forward to, even after the wedding! :))

Nice to see you back Nana d but so sorry to read that you've had some difficult and sad times.
You must be so looking forward to the wedding - as special time for you and your daughter.
You garden is certainly not lacking colour - it all looks beautiful and very healthy. A credit to you and what a difference you've certainly made.

You seem to have been busy in the garden too.....looks great.

Are you sure you didn't know much about gardening three years ago? Its hard to believe you achieved so much in the time. Brilliant! Hope the wedding goes off well.

Wonderful garden and pleased to see that you are a fan of pots like me!

You can be very proud of showing us the photo's of your garden, no need to say sorry they are all lovely, it must be a joy having a cuppa thinking back to what it used to be like and now able to relax amongst all your lovely plants knowing the hard graft is behind you........

I second that.

Your garden looks really special love your blue pots and blue water feature ,best wishes for the wedding .

Thanks all for your kind comments, wedding is only three weeks away and I am organising a hen for about 35 ladies in my garden this Saturday so extra busy sorting that out!:)

You have made is so beautiful.
Where abouts are you in Bournemouth Nana?
My husband came from that area & we lived down there for a few years when we were first married, mostly in the Parkstone area - Lower & Upper.

Hi Shirlwhirl thank you for you lovely comment, I live in a bungalow near Bear Cross/top end of Kinson I know Parkstone and work near there at LV which used to be Frizzell :)

That's near where Dave used to live before we married. He was at the other side of Kinson though. He still has relatives in the Poole area.

Lovely part of the world I come from London originally, where abouts do you live now??

In the Cotswolds, nearest town to us is Cheltenham. We live in Bourton on the Water.

I know I'm late on finding you, but just wanted to say WOW! For someone who was new to gardening, you have done a fantastic job and I love your seating area and all your bits and bobs hanging up !

Thanks Rose:)
