Another little project !

You've made a lovely job of your alterations. When everything comes back to life next year it will look lovely.
Well done Rose.

Thank you Marjories. Its so sad when summer comes to an end, but its great to plan for next year !

What can you do next,you say Rose? darn well sit down for a while,that's what ! lol..It looks absolutely great like that,and so do your pots and climbers..I think you have done a fantastic job,and I'm glad you are happy with your changes..well done love,:o) xxx

oh, that looks good! will have to read and re-read several times to take it all in, well done you!

Thanks Sandra, I'm not good at sitting down! Hahaa! Except maybe with a good book in the winter!
I'll let you know how we get on today. xx

Thanks Fran. I do tend to go on a bit, don't I ! lol

Well done! What a fantastic job. It is amazing what strength you find when you really are determined! :)) I am feeling the lack of a project now. We've had so many projects this year, and now I am finding it hard to stop!

Ok Rose..speak to you later..xxxx

You've done a good job Rose you will benefit from all your hard work next year when you are sitting in the sunshine , I love those stone walls ,I aways cringe when I hear of people lifting great heavy stuff about, please be careful its so easy to hurt yourselves ...

Perhaps it is time for you to stop Karen ! Get yourself a good book and cosy up near the fire !

That's why, Amy that I always do these jobs when I know my hubby won't be watching ! He would have a fit ! lol

Job well done Rose, I suppose you'll only stop when you run out of hidden bricks and stones, when that happens woe betide the pots and plants they'll get moved about each time you are needing something to do, lol, why not if it keeps you happy, looks good.....

That wasn't what I meant, Rose!!! Just that I'd need to re-read to absorb so much detail and compare before-and-after

Slow down Rose you are making me feel very tired. lol. I am just the same when a project is in the head you just have to get on with it. Great job well done, now find that book and sit down and enjoy your lovely garden views. Love the before and after pictures. :O)

A job well done, and all your own work ! What could be better :)
I hope you didn't feel too achy afterwards ... (I think I would have. lol.)
I bet it's a vast improvement.

Rose you and I are definitely on the same wavelength. Achey limbs maybe but don`t you feel good when you see what you`ve achieved.
I think having the arbour on a slant makes the garden look bigger and the stone walling looks fab.

Sue...my hubby always says that everything ducks when I go out in the garden for fear of being moved ! Hahaa!

I know that Fran ! I was only teasing ! lol

I think I have no choice but to sit down now Barbara ! Its raining AGAIN ! lol

Thank you Hywel. I was fine afterwards ! Slept like a baby !
Need another project now ! lol

You are so right Stroller ! To stand back and see what you've done. Its such a great feeling isn't it ! Achey limbs...what achey ;limbs ! Hahaa!
The arbour seat area does look much bigger now! Thank you , I love that stone walling too !
My friend and neighbour said that she had a small bag of sand and cement if I wanted to make it permanent. I declined as ...knowing me, in a few years time everything could be on the move again ! Hahaa!

I hope you weren't in too much trouble when Rick spotted the difference! I like the arbour where you have positioned it now ... well done Rose. :o)

Sorry for the laughter from our house Rose. I could just see you doing your soft shoe shuffle with the arbour and clematis in a pot so vividly that I could not help myself. It looked fine before but I agree with you that the improvement was worth the effort. I won't say roll on the Spring so you can enjoy it all because there will be so much else to see over the winter in the garden that I would not want to wish our lives away. I love your pots.

I really enjoy cleaning up and sorting things out in autumn too. it all looks lovely..love the blue pots under the fountain..:-)

Shirley, he was actually quite pleased with what I had done, but of course didn't know how hard it was to move the arbour seat ! I told him it was so easy ! He also said that he had always wanted it there originally ! !

Thank you so much Scotsgran ! I aim to please ! Hahaa!

Autumn is a great time Sandra ! I love to just look at the garden and then decide what is doing well and what isn't and then sorting it all out !

Like your arbour area, Rose. I have the occasional idea but my Other Half has to carry it out.

Sometimes my "idea" is a bad one. We have a seat near our pond and as I found it rather draughty there I suggested planting some laurels as a sheltered screen. We now have a screen that is around twenty feet high!

Obviously your projects are better than mine, as yours work!

Oh that made me smile, Eirlys ! Couldn't you have cut it down a bit ! lol
Thank you for your comment.
