conservatory phase 3

Post script:

5 wheelbarrow loads of rubble still to be shifted, spade cleaned of concrete and the side bed needs re doing/de-nailing etc. Builders grrrrr :o)

looks lovely SB, you're going to get so much pleasure from sitting in there surveying your lovely garden in all seasons.

I hope so Bellflower. Though I would always want to be out weeding if I could spot any [that should be many:o)]

What a beautiful conservatory and it will be a lovely place to relax once you've got your furnishings in place...they sound pretty special too :)

Roll on sunshine eh? :)

Looks fantastic SB. If you put some heating in there you won't need the rest of your house.... it will be the best place to be.

Absolutely fabulous SBG you'll soon be wondering how you managed without one. You'd better get sturdy furnishings in there as you'll be practically living in it, congratulations, it's perfect. I do like your floor tiles but the I would say that as I have the same ones all through the cottage.

Looking good :o)

I agree with Heron - you'll live in there! Ours is called a 'garden room' because it has a tiled roof, but it's like yours in that it has garden all round to 'view' from the windows. I love that - and seeing birds on a near-by bird table, too. :-))))

One thing more - ask the family to get you a weather station - a remote one - I find mine invaluble.

wow sea its brilliant, i love it and want one lol, great to look over your pond to, i can just see you sat relaxed looking over all your hard work in the garden, hope you have many happy hours in your new garden room :o)) x

I think it looks very nice, hope you enjoy it.

that is truly beautiful, and looking out onto a pond will be fantastic ~ doubt you will ever leave your seat ~once you get it!!
conservatories are nice in or out of the sun ~ lots of room for plants too??

looks wonderful, love your floor, you really will enjoy time in there,

That looks great Sbg,you will wonder how you lived without it, before long..we love ours..Lovely views of your garden too..:o)

thanks for all the lovely comments. I am 'allowed' a few plants and he is allowed a few vintage bike pieces :o)

We put a branch off the central heating system and sockets for various bits and bobs. Lighting is non electric and there isnt a trelly either. Victorian lamps too. OH is a bit of a squirreller:o) I have an aspidistra to fit into a coner so that will look good.

Oh SBG....It's marvellous. I'd spend all my time in there. Lucky you. :o)

you could grow a climber all round the vintage bike?

oh that looks lovely SBG,i am soo jealous...somewhere nice to relax..:o)

It's very nice. You'll probably spend a lot of time in there :o)

Your garden looks lovely Sbg, and as for your conservatory...I`m so envious! :o)

if the bike is still there next month it will get the tinsel treatment!

Really looking forward to spending time in there. but who'll do all the ironing etc?

Maybe you could do some delegation instead of doing the ironing :D

that sounds a good idea hywel
im looking enviously at your conservatory now ~ our lounge extension ~ with lots of windows should have been finished by now but its not even started!!!

On further consideration....I'm on my way over. I'm coming to live in your conservatory for the winter. OK? :o)))

rent free if you do the ironing etc. Gilli
delegate to the kids Hywel? mmmm do i want iron holes burnt into the back of the shirts? probably not :o)
Actually eldest is quite good but she has other chores to do too so its a bit unfair to expect her to do much more.

the rain sounded horrendous, drumming off the roof this morning though.

No I mean delegate to your husband lol :o)
Anyway I used to do my own ironing when I was a teenager ! So why not your teenagers ?

I think you'd be better off having your kids iron than me SBG. I'm terrible at it. I'll wash the conservatory windows for you though.

OH has other delegated duties Hywel and the girls also have their own respective jobs. I have the main task of washing/ironing and the general dusting. Cooking is a shared task by all of us, though OH & I do the most. both girls cook at least once a week. All my jobs stop me gardening etc. :o(

That's a shame. I never had any 'jobs' to do but I always insisted on ironing my own shirts. I didn't like the way my mother did them lol - I'm fussy you see :o(

no not fussy. I hated the way my mum ironed some of my things too :o)

lol ;o)

I suppose you could do the ironing in the conservatory? Perhaps not. Dont forget to take some pictures from there in the spring for us.

Its a lovely addition to your home SBG and I am sure you will love it :)

How's your conservatory in this cold snowy weather ?
Cosy and warm ?

not too chilly as we did put heating in, though the snow has piled up by the door. The icicles are fantastic too. Also a bit closer to the feeders so have enjoyed watching blue/great and longtailed tits as well as a couple of blackbirds stripping the pyracantha. There are a few dunnocks and a robin too that frequent the area.
neighbours cats are a bit of a pain and we can now see their chosen path to the bushes to hide in. So that will be altered in the spring.

How lovely your conservatory is ,its very much like ours its great in the spring and summer but like an icebox at the moment as we don't have heating in there ,Like yours we can see all round our garden from the windows .We have only had ours for just over a year so its still a novety .Best wishes for Christmas Seaburngirl

Thanks, although it has heating its too cold to sit in for any length of time. Nice to watch the snow falling [again] from within though. Hope you enjoy yours Jean.
