Perfect! What a wonderful spot to sit and relax.

Thank you Motinot. It's slowly getting back to what it was. It's taken quite some time for the space to recover from the horrible start we had here last year. I'm still waiting patiently for the climbers to start covering the reconstructed pergola. Patience is a virtue so they say!

If this is in the recovery stages I can't imagine what it would look like in its full glory! Must be fabulous Bernieh!

Yes it was looking a bit better than it is now, Lauram, but it's well and truly on the way back now. I still think I need more colour out there!

It looks terrific! The plants appeared to have recovered pretty well from Tropical Cyclone Yasi. Are the trees growing back?

Yes Andy, in the end we only lost one of our enormous 30 foot trees. Of course it's taken a long time for the others to recover, and most of them are still only half the size they were.

The huge Durantas which lined the driveway have also taken quite some time to recover and they're still only half their original size, as most were around four metres tall.

The pergola you see in the photo is new, as the old structure had to be torn down and replaced. It's taken months for the plants to recover as they all had to be cut down to the ground to enable the workmen to do their job.

It's been a long slow recovery process but we're definitely on the other end of it now, and I'm so very pleased.

It sounds like it's been quite a task getting the plants and trees back to somewhat normal. I'm glad to hear the plants are recovering, even though it's been a slow.

Your garden truly looks amazing, though! :>)

Thanks Andy. I appreciate your kind comment.

You're welcome. :>)
