Part two of the work done at the new garden.

Looking good Rose all coming together.

Wow, Rose ...
... great designs and improvements.
Adding to GoYpedia.

Thanks once again Scotkat.
Thanks Terra and I'm pleased you are coming back to Goy. I hope you are a bit happier now in your home. xxx

I wonder what the new neighbours think as they look out their windows. I know I'd be saying, wow haven't they worked hard. It really is beautiful Rose.

Awesome!

Looks lovely

It is soo pretty - you must be delighted with it. The walls are lovely, and add such character. I love the way you've filled it all up. Just beautiful!

Super rose! I'm so happy that I gave you an idea! it I can't see your 'steps'! AmI being thick again? Your wall is fab!

It looks like you have been busy with the paint brush too. You are putting us all to shame with all your hard work. The whole plot has been transformed. I do like walls and recycling the bricks in this way is sheer genius. WOW.

You have worked hard and your garden looks beautiful, completely transformed. I love the area around your arbour seat.

How clever a dry stone wall made from recycled bricks, you have done good there Rose. What a brilliant job and a great use of those bricks. It all looks very pretty and it will be so easy for you to manage - hope your neighbours are being kind too. It must be nice for you to be able to relax in your garden and know that there are no nasty surprises around the corner for you so to speak. Have a great time and try and relax in your new garden - hope o.h. is doing ok too, best wishes to you both.

Wow Rose a huge pat on the back for you, how good to find all those bricks, your wall looks great and has completely changed the look of that corner, I'm really impressed with all you have achieved, it must be lovely getting up and seeing all your lovely shrubs, flowers, arbours and all the rest settled so well in their new home..
It all looks lovely, thankyou for inviting us into your new garden, hope you can now relax and enjoy life without having to worry about what nasty thing is going to happen next in and around your home and garden....

So lovely to look at and it is a great achievment Rose. What a beautiful place to sit surrounded by clematis and roses - so glad that they survived the upheaval - as did you!!!

Hello Scottish, apparently the neighbours call me "the lady who likes to dig !" because I spent hours in the front garden battling with the heavy clay !
Thanks Louisa and Drc726 for your comments.
Thanks Mel, fancy finding all these lovely bricks ! I can't believe some one had buried them !
Thanks Karen, you could originally see the steps, but eventually all the plants hid them. I only did it to create different levels ! And no...you're not thick ! Lol.
Thanks Scotsgran. The fence my hubby painted on his good days, but we were very lucky with the side fence as it was put up while we were away and the neighbours painted our side as well ! I bet there's not many neighbours like that ! We decided between us on the green as I think it suits the garden and plants better.
Thanks Jaykaty for your lovely comments.
Hello again Barbara. Its been so nice to find that everyone around here are all lovely people. We had 14 years of living amongst those unmentionables that we forgot that nice people existed ( with the exception of you goyers , of course !) Yes my hubby is doing great , thanks. He has finally settled down and is quite content.
Thanks Sue, I can't tell you what a big difference to our lives it has made moving here. It was a gamble, but its cerainly paid off !
Thanks Chris, I got it done in the end, didn't I ! The blog I mean ! Hahaa! I keep having to pinch myself ! Its a long time since we have been so relaxed and happy ! x

That's so lovely to hear Rose...I am so happy for you both! :))

Ditto! You both deserve it ;-)

Wonderful ! You're working hard, and it can only get better :o)

Rose, if I put the kettle on, can you pop round & do another 'miracle-makeover' on my garden? ;-)
What a monumental achievement in such a short space of time!
I'm proud of you!!!

Thank you so much, Karen, Mel and Hywel. Ooh, I'm getting all emotional now !
Well, thank you kind sir ! I've been looking in at your garden, Mouldy and I don't think you need my help! Yours seems to be coming along nicely !

I really enjoyed your last 2 blogs, seeing what you have done with something pretty dreary. What a difference you have made in those few months. It must feel so strange coming from somewhere with all that space around you.
You have given me the inspiration needed for my own tiny bit of a plot which we got to go with our new house.
We moved in the same time you did but our garden will have o wait untill spring for a makeover, too busy making the house liveable in at the moment.
Your blog made me itch to get out there and start again, thank you.

Well, Resi, you've got all winter, if we have some dry sunny days , even if its cold ! But, on the other hand , it will give you time to study the garden and plan it in the warmth of your new home. I hope you will be as happy in yours as we are in ours. Thank you also.

It was, 'til I began looking for Autumn & Winter plants.
Jasmine.
That's all B&Q have on offer!
A huge superstore & only one plant in stock. I was speechless.
Now it's a traipse to find a garden centre.
Why did I take up gardening? Lol.

You should live here , then Mouldy, in Lincolnshire. There's loads of nurseries and garden centres to choose from !
But you know you love it , don't you !

So help me, I do love it, Rose! Lol.
Nurseries?
Good thinking, Batwoman! ;-)

My goodness Rose ... there's more surprises in this blog ... I wonder why all those lovely bricks were buried in the first place though! So pleased you have lovely neighbours ... makes for a pleasant life ... :o)

Maybe an old Anderson?
They're definately not 'modern' bricks, that's for sure.

I think they were just waiting for me to find them, Shirley! Hahaa!
Thats a good idea. Mouldy !

You should have used them to build a fortress, so the rozzers can't capture you for the G.C thievery.
S'okay, I won't 'grass' you! Lol.

At last,I have got round to seeing part two,Rose :o) I guess it doesn't matter which way round we see your lovely garden really..
I love all the planting around your Arbour..the Pieris will do well there..It's great that you managed to bring such a lot with you from willow cottage..that other lot would have probably nicked them anyway! I brought my Pieris with me as well,and almost 12 years on,they still going strong..and both had a serious prune this year,but looking good again....Right,off to look at part 3 now ..this is just gorgeous :o)

Oh, Mouldy, it was my first offence, honest !!!
Thanks Sandra, you're right there, they would ! Apparently I have been told that someone even got in and broke up the cement around the big lamp post and took that ! Well, they are welcome to any of it now ! We are well out of it!
I'm pleased you enjoyed seeing our garden. Perhaps one day , you will see it for real !

Thieving b......ers ! I hope they dropped it on their toes :o)
I hope we do see your lovely garden one day,that would be a real pleasure :o) x
