Clematis armandii close-up

A lovely clematis well worth the effort.......

Well - I only had to climb up a small wall and streeeeeettttcchh a bit to get this photo, not up a ladder! LOL.

I am sure the exercise did you the power of good...lol

Not sure about that, Dd!! I'm getting plenty of exercise anyway at the moment - aren't you?

That is a very personal question to ask of one....lol

Ooops! Sorry, Ms Auricula. :-(((((

I should coco........as it happens getting lots of exercise taking up slabs, and gravel. laying more gravel.....painting sheds shall be pleased to get back to proper gardening..............!!!

Oh dearie me - not my idea of fun at all! You'll have to grit your teeth, straighten your back and think of the end product. ;-/

I am trying...........believe me, still, the end is in sight after 10 years looking at a building site, it is nearly a garden.

From what I've seen, it is certainly that, Dd! :-)))

This is the side entrance, I did a blog called Challenge Dotty, had lots and lots of advice from all on GOY, it is about three weeks away to finishing, depends on OH how fast he can take up the rest of the slabs and relay them.......(I might be under them yet lol)

I did read it, and add a comment - I don't know which advice you took, if any, of course - I'm waiting to see the 'before and after' photos. :-)))))

Some of your advice was taken, not saying what though, pleased with it so far........as they say watch this space.......

I sure will! :-)))))
