Absolutely amazing work and choice.Are there many wild flowers there? (forgive my ignorance) Great little corner of the earth you have there in lovely Cornwall too.

Thank you :-) there are quite a few wild flowers - the foxgloves (purply pink spires on the left) just arrive. I take them out when I have other stuff I want to plant. That little plant you can see in the paving is bladder campion - I collected some seed up the lane and threw them around. It's grown to a couple of square feet now - has lovely white flowers. My avatar is a pic of bluebells in a wooded bit of the garden - they're wild and self seed in shade where they're happy. I just keep the brambles down and they do the rest. When we go for walks there are lots of wild flowers in the hedgerows. I've collected seed from some of the pretty ones.
Cornwall is lovely - if you can stand the rainy weather. We get first go at the clouds that have absorbed moisture as they cross the Atlantic. We're the first place they reach to rain on....... say no more.
