Hello everyone , I'm back!

Well done Rose, How hard you must have worked, you have achieved so much in a few months, it is looking great already, shall watch with interest.

Woweee you have done an amazing job there Rose, it looks great. How is your back lol :O) hope you are not over doing it. :O) I am busy in the garden clearing out weeds etc. too so I can empathise with you. It does look absolutely gorgeous though. I look forward to the next episode of your blog. Glad to have you back alongside us again. Happy Autumn xx B

LOVE IT!

What a transformation!

Welcome back rose and good luck in your new home.

I am just back from Glamis and a bit tired so away to enjoy a cup of tea.

Love your new Arch I am busy looking for one for my varigated honeysuckle to grow on.

Hello Rose .. welcome back ..
You've done amazing work on your garden, but the impression coming across more than anything is that you sound so HAPPY :o))) XXX

Thanks Lizziebee, I shall continue my blogs over the next few days.
Hello Barbara, thanks for your comments and my back is fine ... now ! I have enjoyed doing it all though ! Its good fun starting from a blank canvas ! Happy Autumn to you too ! Its not really Autumn yet is it ! I'm hoping for an Indian summer . I've got so used to this warm dry weather.
Thanks Costas, more to come !
Thankyou Pamg. Its so easy to manage now !
Thanks Scotkat for your good wishes. A cuppa is just what I need ! I'll go and put the kettle on ! Not sure where Glamis is ! Have you been away for a while ? Both arches where from our B&M and were only £6.99 each. They are so easy to put up as well !

Hello Terra, nice to hear from you again. Are you well ? Yes we are both very happy , thank you. Its the best thing we could have done ! Wish we'd done it years ago ! Mind you. I might not be in this bungalow near my Mum and Dads old bungalow, if we had ! I just wish they were there now ! xxx

You've definitely done the right thing .. I haven't been on GoY much lately, but trying to get back into it more now ... xxx

Congratulations on what you have achieved in a very short time. Your happiness is shining through. Well done for being brave enough to make the move. I love it all.

My goodness Rose, what a transformation! You've worked wonders. In the years to come it's all going to look wonderful. Like yourself, when we moved to our present (and last) home, which is also a bungalow, we set to and revamped front and and back...I'm now on with my second go at the back, as it didn't turn out the way I wanted. It looks as if you won't have any such problems. All the hard work seems to be paying off. Well done :) I'm now looking forward to your next blog, with baited breath.

Thanks Scotsgran, I think we found this place and acted so quickly that we didn't have time to think ! I'm so pleased we did !
Thanks Waddy. do you know, I absolutely love living in a bungalow , and its so easy to keep clean ! I'll be looking out for your blog when you finish yours !

Welcome Back!!
What a huge difference in such a short time, you've worked really hard and your dedication shines. Right choice I think :)

Welcome back, what an amazing transformation, well done!

Wow, Rose - you have been busy! (Well - what else?)
It is hard to believe it's the same garden. It looks lovely. I hope you will both have many happy years in your new home. You definitely made the right move!

What a transformation you have made. It looks really lovely. Glad that both of you are pleased with your move to Laceby. Keep up the good work
Best wishes Rose
Marjorie

I'm so glad to see you Rose! It's lovely of you to share your new garden with us! Are you enjoying your new home? We are in the process of selling our house and buying a new place too, so I shall be AWOL for a while, but not yet, and then I'll also be back with a new garden! I like your idea of an evergreen hedge for a wind break.

I love it Rose, you are doing a great job there and look forward to seeing more......

Its good to see you back Rose and you do sound very happy, I'm really pleased you found your bungalow, I can see that you have been hard at work turning it into yours, its been a good summer which must have been a blessing for you, imagine if it had been last year with all that rain, well done Rose, off to read part two.....

Truly inspiring Rose.
It is hard to imagine the work involved and the planning and thought that went into this.
I am so very happy for you and pleased to see you on here again.

Thanks Scottish, even we can't believe how good it looks now ! considering all the plants as well as being dug up had to contend with clay soil !
Thank you Louisa for your comments. I appreciate it.
Hiya Mel, thanks for your good wishes, but I have one problem , what do I do now ! Hahaa!
Thanks Marjorie, we love it here! Its like I've never been away !
Hello there Karen, nice to "see you" too ! I can't believe you've planted all those trees and got your garden looking lovely and now you're moving ! So, I'll have to look out for YOUR new garden. Are you planning on taking all your trees too ? Thanks for your lovely message. We love living here, Karen and the neighbours are all very nice. Some remember me from when I lived here with my parents from the age of 15 ! People seem to move here and never leave !
Thank you so much Grandmage. More blogs to follow !
Hello Sue, thanks , weren't we so lucky with the weather! We arrived back from our month in Turkey (couldn't wait to get back here) and the sun just shone and shone ! Some days I was outside working until 10pm ! The garden gets the sun all; day ! Isn't that just" grand !" Ooh, I'm starting to sound like Elizabeth ( Libet ) now ! Hahaa! I notice I often pick up on some of her Irish sayings !

Hiya Chris, I wondered if you would see this blog before you went away. Thanks for your good wishes. Do you think I might be a teeny bit bored now its all done ! Hahaa!
I shall be looking forward to hearing all about your little trip ! xxx

Don't worry, Rose - the season is changing. There's lots to do!

It's very exciting ! You've done such a lot already and it looks lovely. I'm looking forward to seeing what you did next lol :o)

Oh, Rose, you fibber!
Everygreen hedge as a windbreak, indeed...it's so you can do nude sunbathing, go on, admit it! Lol.
It's a delight to see you back & I'm thrilled the move has been such a success.
The garden is shaping up nicely & I'm sure you'll enjoy it for many years to come, as we will, too.
Welcome home!!!

Hello Hywel, you'll be pleased to know that your Veronica came with me and is flourishing ! Thanks for your comments. I will be putting some pictures up of certain plants soon, and the Veronica will be one of them !
Mouldy....there's only you that could come up with something like that ! I wouldn't want to scare the neighbours ! Hahaa!
Thank you for your good wishes and its good to be back !

I'm pleased to know the Veronica likes it's new home :o)

Hywel, its flowered longer and got much bigger in the short time its been here, as all the plants seem to have done too ! They are probably thinking they've come home too ! lol

Now we are waiting to see the front garden Rose, is that for another day?

Soon, Lizziebee, soon !

Hiya,Rose..I'm on catch up,as we have been away too,so I've only just seen this...and notice there are now another two to look at! :o)
well,what a transformation on this blog alone,whatever will I see on the others? It was worth all that hard work,and digging..!
I am so happy for you and Rick,it was definitely meant to be,wasn't it? ..you have created such a lovely garden between you,and also a home you both love..Russell is happy for you both too..take care,my friend,and I'm off to look at the others :o) xxx

Hello Sandra, have you had a nice break ? I hope the weather stayed good for you ! Thank you so much for your good wishes. Yes it was all worth it, but I'm not used to NOT doing it all the time ! I keep going outside looking for the weeds, just to give me something to do ! lol
I think I will have to get back into my painting soon!

We had a lovely time in the Lakes,Rose,thank you ..and the weather was really good,apart from a couple of hours one day..but to be expected there,anyway..I still haven't got round to seeing your latest blogs,but I will later today..I'm going out soon,for Fish and chips for lunch..
yummy :o) It's freezing here,so they will warm me up nicely,a poor excuse,I know..! Lol.
Yes ,you will have to get back to your painting,my dear..the weeds will be glad of a break from your beady eye ! I bet there aren't many anyway,if you are like me..always on the look out,and the deadheading is almost at an end too..I shall miss doing both .it's going to be boring .Lol.xx

I'm on 'catch-up' too Rose ... and I haven't even been away! Well, what can I say that hasn't already been said about the transformation you have made to your new garden? You've put your stamp on it in such a short space of time ... and with being away for a month too ... well done on all your hard work ... off to read part two now ... :o)

Thanks Shirley, and just to say that after a very slow start . the grass you sent me is doing ok now.

Phew ... I'm always pleased to know I haven't sent 'dud' plants to anybody! :o)

Rose, 3 of your blogs are on my news page, therefore I'm on this page, so that, when you reply, I'll have the full set!
Sheer genius, or what? Lol.

Do you know what, Mouldy, I always was a bit slow on the uptake ! What do you mean your news page and how have you done it ?

Wow sorry I missed this Rose September was bad month for us , you've done an amazing amount of work in a short time well done you ! all good wishes and be happy in your new home ....

Thanks Amy. We had a very hot dry summer here, so was able to work at it every day!
