Memories of last summer

just beautiful ~ how much do people have to pay to go here!?

A bottle of wine would cover it Sticki!

Done!
all i need now is garden opening times.

Open all hours in summer

excellent. what an accomodating garden.

very nice..

beautiful

Beautiful indeed...:>)

Thank you...so which day are you all coming round?

everyday?

Ok...I like Rose wine xxxx

funny i thought you would be thinking of the wine - have you got a cellar?

No 4 bed detached and a fridge in the garage!

I also have a fridge in the garage.....that's a booze fridge of course....extra fridge just for the bottles!! Plus a wine rack in the kitchen! AND I like a glass of rose in the summer time, but in the winter it has to be Red or White Rioja! This is another lovely photo Ann. This time last year I was putting up the new wooden arch. Tomorrow will be February! Goodbye January, don't come back too soon! I will also soon have two spare bedrooms with bathroom each...you two should come up here!

And I have your address, just tell me when xxxxxx The booze fridge was the last piece in the picture...so like me !! Along with my love of Rioja xx Annie

Unbelieveable!! Any time Annie, the 'green room' is always available as it was my daughter's and she has her own flat now. My son Callum is moving in with her mid April, so that will be us back to quiet again. Perhaps I should start a B&B!!...not for you of course, you would be my guest!! 3 course dinner and Rioja inclusive! :))

Im happy with B&B Karen...full english naturally..not quite at the stage of wine with breakfast...yet!

I do a fine cooked breakfast...we call it a 'full Scottish' tetrarch!! :))

Can I have a touch of Yorkshire? I LURVE black pudding!

Tet!!!! you're not going to eat Yorkshire are you????

We have to convince her to come along first..

We are off to Scotland in a coach Annella, Im driving..we are visiting gardens and distilleries and Sticki and I are borrowing two Monkey Puzzle Trees with our Kneepads and they are going back in the coach with everyone on the roof or in a trailer....Coming?

i didnt know you were driving Tet!??

Thats the trees in the coach, the rest, wherever..but suggest you get in the trailer cos they have kneepads to sit on!

Yep!! When do we leave??

where will all the plants go? and the whisky? i hope we have large overhead lockers??

Well I would hope the whisky inside us by then..plants and trees in the coach..overhead locks for those who dont like trailers!

and seat belts?

Well the seats can have belts if they like..I dont wear 'em..cant find one big enough

i was thinking they would be useful to restrain wayward plants? or anything else that needed tying down?

LOL Chairwoman when she get overexcited with the police escort!!

I haven't been in touch with all the distilleries yet Tet:-( Are we having an overnight stop at Karens? Annella, isn't it hard to think of how lovely your garden is at this time of the year. Mine looks horrible, and everything is being blown away too as we've had very strong wind for 2 days and nights (I don't mean us personally before you say anything) I'm sure yours looks ok even now as it's more mature, but this pic is gorgeous ¦:-)

Ba I have never seen my garden looking so bad, the wind is trashing everything that survived the freeze :o((
The Cistus in the pic is one of the plants that still looks ok at the minute, so fingers crossed...

I bought a beautiful yellow striped phormium, a large one and quite dear with the postage. The biggest leaves have blown off (if you'll parden the expression) I may as well got a smaller one lol. I only put it out the day before the winds ¦:-(

oh no! how frustrating is that?

I should have brought it in but thought it was sheltered enough. It was still in its pot. :-(
