My Woodland

Beautiful, just so peaceful! Can I bring my tent and camp in there for a few weeks! lol!

Oh, so beautiful and peaceful. Love the pathway! Gone into faves!

Aww Lulu, that's nice of you.

Helenium, yes, come and pitch up, you wont be disturbed expect for the cuckoo, lol.

Sounds good to me! lol!

Did you plant this wood? Is this your baby!?

can i come too...it looks wonderful...:-)

I'm on my way!! See you all there...GOY convention in DA's woods! Bring your paints and easels girls!

Isn't this just the most perfect place ?

Make room for me , it's perfect ... will we be expected to WORK !! Dawn ... ?

lol Amy...i dont mind helping a little bit as long as i dont have to do any more watering....

Don't forget your cossy for the swimming pool Sandra :o)

we could pitch my tipi by the waters edge....

Sounds like fun ! I haven't had a sleep-over for years .. LOL...

Lovely Dawn, sounds like a plan girls, count me in :-)

Lulu: Yes, we planted the trees about 9 years ago.

You wont have to work Sandra, I think you deserve a rest, infact, I think we all do.

That's it then, party on. Lol. x

isnt it great to see the trees we have planted grow up... i only call them proper trees when they are taller than me....are they all the same trees?

It looks like it's grown from Baby into adultwood!!

Dawnsaunt, for the party, I'll not bring the drumkit might be a bit loud, shall I bring a Guitar and we can have a singsong? I nominate Karensusan for the first song!

Lol! Very good Lulu!

How about a Shamanic drum!!

Is that the same as a Boran drum Lulu? They sound brilliant!

Bring whatever you like girls.

Sandra: We set a mixture of mainly native trees, set them in blocks by species so we have: larch, hornbeam, beech, corsican pine, betula, oak, red oak, alder, ash, goats willow, willow and field maple, I think that's it, love them all :-) Dotted a few mountain ash in and crab and then we have an mini orchard, plum, apples pears, the usual oh and a peach.

thats great Dawn. its great planting trees gives me so much satisfaction...how long ago did you plant it?

Helenium, the Boran is played with a double ended stick and is quite difficult! The shamanic drum is like a large tambourine but without the bells! Great for banging and dancing!

I thought the Shamanic drum might be just another name for the Boran! My friend plays the Boran and gave me lessons which I didn't keep up! I bet the shamanic drum sounds really good Lulu!

Played it for the first time last night! It was great fun. May play a bit in Davids new band!! Eeeks!! Learning the way a song is actually played is a new one on me, and an out of beat drummer gets beaten by the band!!
I love the Boran though, it's my favourite kind of drum and played well it's just superb!
So today....I got sore feet and knees from jumping around to the drumming and a sore head from the wine!

Do you have a mower that you sit on to cut your grass.

Hi Sandra, set them in 2002, like you say, so satisfying setting tiny sticks and seeing them grow.
Helen/Lulu. How musical you both are :)

Carol, yes we have a ride on mower, thankfully

Good Luck Lulu, just you tell them.. the drummer is the band!!!lol!

Thanks Daunsaunt!

This is gorgeous Dawnsaunt! It's gone straight on to my favourites! Soooo beautiful! :0)

Hi Libet, glad you like it enough to add to your favourites. We've incorporated another path now so its goes under the willow arch :). Just noticed the grass has gown so much since this picture
