thanx jacque ;o) xx

This is going to look really good San, I love your statue :~)).

thanx skillen she`s recently new, in memory of angelina my last cat, ;o)

Aw that's right San, I remember now.

so at weekend before i finish area will lay her ashes to rest here, will be sad ;o(

It will be sad, I know how you feel San, but it's going to be a lovely spot for Angelina to rest, she will love it there. We buried our much loved cats in the garden last year. Mr Scruffers was a lovely old stray who adopted us a few years ago. He is buried up by our pond and I got a lovely statue of a cat to remember him by. Our other cat, Oscar died last Feb, and it took me a year to find the right memorial for her. I have just put it in the border where she is last week :~((.

your right it will be a nice resting place skillen, and lovely you have done similar things for you kitties to, nice to remember them in the garden i think :o))

Coming along really nicely now San:0))

Your statue is lovely, hope to see a lot of her in future.

coming on nicely

its lovely San, I adore your statue.??

thanx Dan, gurth,deida and yorkshire, im really happy it all turned out ok, going to finish off at weekend and angelina will be laid to rest beneath her statue ;o))

Oh thats nice San

thanx hywel, she was a little angel, i miss her but casper is a good lad, glad i have him :o)) x

what have you got growing up your obilisk sandra....ive bought onr from wilkinsons for my clematis........

its a passion flower, ive had it inside since i got it last year off ebay, the guy said put it out this year, it has lovely white flowers i hope , i have a smaller purple one to so may mindle them :o))

Its really coming on now Sandra and I must say I like the statue too. How nice that you have such a pretty spot for Angelina. My own little Passion flower has just started to put out new shoots so hopefully it will really take off this year. :o)

thanx sandra, its the first time for passion flower so im hoping its ok, looks a bit floppy but leaves are only soft, is this because its been grown inside do you think :o)

thats sounds good sandra.... ive got to find somewhere to put mine thats a bit shielded from the wind..... : O ))

hope yours does ok to holly ;o)

The statue looks good there Sandra -will you be putting some plants in her basket?

yes im looking out for something for it richard, great minds hey :o))

something trailing may look good :-)

its only a very small basket she is holding richard so ive put a small mossy saxifrage in for noe to see what happens :o)

I have a saved saxifrage from last year Sandra it has not flowered again yet but that should be nice in your pot. :-)

hope so richard, just have to watch it doesnt dry out with not being alot of room :o)

Your new pond looks really nice Sandra. You and Baz have done a great job there.:-)

cheers richard ;o)

Mossy Saxifrage, like most alpines, just needs well-drained soil. So even if near the pond, the border might still be ok.

i think it should be Jb as its on a slope and not close to waters edge, can only try ;o)

I had saxiflage by my pond in the other garden Sanbaz.

yes im hoping it will be ok linda, ive realised i get the sun on this area most of day so dries out very quickly, so already watering in the evening, thats before summer starts :o)

Most of the rockery plants should be o.k. I also had the very small pink perrenial geranium with the black centre. Can't remember it's name, Grasses are good as the damselflies and hawkers use them for emerging from the pond to dry off their wings.

thanx linda will get a grass plant then ;o)
