Yes Sue she's as fit as a fiddle and has mega green fingers, she grows all herown fruit veg grapes tomatoes - the list goes on. She comes in october and cuts back all my shrubs.
She's quite cheap Bernieh all you have to do is feed her cups of tea,but I do look after her - I'm taking her to Florence next week.

Sounds like you've got an amazing lady for your mum. Hope you both have a ball in Florence.

Thanks Bernieh we will - can't wait for a bit of sunshine> When I get back I'm going to have a good look at your garden photos - there are so many and it looks amazing from the few I've seen - I think I'll need at least an hour!

What a lovely garden, it looks perfect including the lawn. Your Mum must be amazing and as you say fit as a fiddle.
I hope the hot weather in Florence isn't too much for her. I have relatives out there and it has been terribly hot.
Must go now and look at more pics.

Thanks Mad - we're just back from Florence and had a lovely holiday. The weather was hot but she managed to stay in the shade quite a bit. We walked for miles and had a lovey hotel outside the city to relax.
