RAIN AND HAIL HAD HELPED CLEAN THE SLABS:-)

Aw gee, thanks Pixi...what do you think of the garden though;-)

Was going to say the same but we don't want to give you too much of a big head....do we! :))))))

What a pretty garden Ba . . . love it :)

Beautiful Ba, is that a little heuchera 'Fire Chief' I see on the left at the front, I have that one, very kindly sent to me by a GOY member :-), the colour is amazing.

Well its saved you getting the patio cleaner out and every is looking bright and beautiful ;0))

i meant garden is looking beautiful..lovely planting and great pond :))))))

Are they little steps? They look so nice and the surrounding plants look lovely too.
Wouldn't mind too much if the rain was warm rain but it 'ain't' it's cold and miserable rain!!!

Gorgeous area Ba...:>)

Looks beautiful :^)

Lol Scottish, thanks Sticki and Sheila, I love I don't know what it would look like without the forget me nots though and I must have the birds to thank for those:-)

Hi Simbad, yes it's H. Fire Chief, amazing red isn't it, if I remember rightly Plantagogo have another Fire Chief relative that's even brighter! hard to believe isn't it?:-)

Lol Carole, anyone would think I was lazy (I am):-)

Ok...thanks Pixi:-)

Wildrose, the ones you can see are level, then there are steps down to the circle. I don't have any grass anywhere now, except in the borders where it shouldn't be lol:-)

Thanks Motinot and Daylily, I'm so glad I had the makeover....no more mowing, although I do love the look of grass:-)

What a lovely view down your garden path,Ba..the Forget me nots look stunning ...we had to power wash our paths a couple of weeks ago..and then it rained when we had finished !...but at least it rinsed them off..your garden is a picture..:o)

Thanks Bloomer, would you like to come and power wash mine please:-) I suppose I would need an outside tap lol:-)

Lol.Ba..it would be a bit hard otherwise...I have a tap that works ! ..have you got a long hose pipe ?:o) ..

Not that long :-)

Shame..I thought you were the woman who had everything :o)

except a tap and ginormous hose:-)

As a penance, you will have to look at my new Lichfield blog when I put it on:-)

Cafe blog now on:-)

You have such a lovely garden BTW what made you lose interest. I am glad the interest was reawakened...otherwise I would have been deprived of seeing these lovely photos. The pool and bordering plants are oh- so -pretty

You are very kind Devika, thank you, I'm glad my interest reawakened too:-)

How come I didn`t get to take a peek at your beautiful planting, and I`m so jelous of that lovely acer is that the `orange dream` one you mentioned when we were at Malvern. Just keep praying for hail and rain every month or so and then you won`t need a big hose.

I didn't want to make you late for Malvern Stroller. My acer is an unknown one which lived in a pot for years at my old garden. It was one needing tlc in a garden centre sin bin twenty odd years ago:-)

Pull the other one Ba - I reckon thats next doors garden your showing us.

Got me bang to rights:-)
