garden oct 1st

Some very tall things in pots against the house Lulu...is this for later planting?

It looks lovely, I think they call this 'the golden hour' ?

Golden hour, yep.
Tall things in pots.........A golden bamboo, which doesn't like the wind, so can't plant it. A clem Pepertius, which I should really plant and one of those bamboo like, green, prehistoric plants I can't remember the name of!!

Lovely light, you place is so big Lulu i think I am now placing where all the things are

Ah, yes, my bamboos get shredded by the wind every year Lulu!

Smashing house and garden,I just where I would like to live.

It's fantastic. Comes with hubby's job. No garden when we arrived........I got carried away. It's so peaceful here, a mile from a road and no neighbours....good for hubby's drumming and band practise and great for the 3 dogs.

How old is the cottage lulu? Is it steeped in history?

No one really knows Karen. It's called Thatched Cottage but isn't and builders said didn't look like it used to bee. i reckon it's about 250+ years old and the cottage plus the big house used to be part of a larger estate called Saddlewood Manor. It's on google. The manor is haunted!!

What a pity you can't find out about the cottage. It surely must have been thatched at some time if it's called Thatched Cottage! I'll go take a look at the manor....

hmm...seems that this 'dream home' is not a happy home! Hope the new owners will be happy there! What a beautiful place though eh....do you think that people who live in these places realise just how blessed they are? ;)

What a lovely place you live in Lulu. I like what you've done with the garden so far. Large gardens just eat plants don't you find?

I would get the old manor house de ghosted for a start!
Yes poppyL, eats breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner, with a little light snacking inbetween!

Actually the picture doesnt do the garden justice..much prettier than that! Its a dream of a spot..talk about location, location! The pub's pretty good too lol!
