Blood, Sweat, but no tears.

Wow, what a transformation...yes it was me that said that about not ever losing weight, but my muscles are bigger!! Thats looking great now Stroller, well done! Put your feet up for a few days at least and enjoy it!

Thanks Karen, I am pleased with it and think it will look even better once it has aged.

What great blog..you worked hard!!! I see lazy Enoch is sitting watching you too! Tsk tsk!
Lovely! :)

Well, I think it was worth all the hard work. It looks very good. It's an interesting front garden with lots to look at. I love getting stuck in to a big project and making a difference. Sadly, I never lose any weight either.

I love your attitude Stroller, you are a girl after my own heart, I have times like that, when I make a decision and decide a change is needed, then I`ll get stuck in and alter it no matter how tough the task is.
I bet it was great fun hammering at those slabs, great way to get rid of ones demons, I like jigsaws so I also would have liked making the crazy paving, it looks good now but will be even better as you say when its weathered a bit.
Looks grand, well done.

Stroller you have done a great job ~ they will be hiring you for hard landscape!!
mosaic paths ~ it looks so much better ~ well done you!!

It does make you feel good when you get such lovely comments. As you say Lincs all frustrations got rid of when breaking those slabs.
Don`t think I have any energy left for hiring out Sticki.

not even to sign autographs?

Wonder why we don't believe you Stroller, last project. Duck the pigs can fly.

What a fantastic transformation to the pathway!!! Well done!

wish I could bend like you, its absolutely brilliant, well done for all the hard work,it looks fantastic,

WOW!! I like it! Well done! :)))

Who's a clever girl then ! Well done Stroller. You have done a grand job. I like it a lot.

I can't believe you did all that by yourself.You are definitely like me,as when I get an idea in my head ,I have to do it there and then and its amazing what you can do when you are dtermined.What a brilliant job, it makes the garden look really pretty.

Congratulations, Stroller for ... a) managing to post the blog (!) ... b) working so hard on this project ... and c) creating such a lovely front garden ... I remember your blog from November wondering about changing the layout ... it is lovely now ... and it may be an optical illusion but it looks bigger! ... Now will you just put your feet up for a change ... lol! :o)))

Fantastic job there,Stroller..where do you get all that energy from ??..It looks great,and I agree with Shirley..it makes it look bigger..I would be so proud if I had managed to do all that..take a bow..Lol.

Lilc, Yorkshire, Michaela,Cinders, Rose and Shirley your comments are very much appreciated. Grannyb did I really say no more projects, can`t quite remember that, you`ve obviously got my measure.lol.

You've worked so hard Stroller but worth every aching muscle to get such a fantastic result, well done! It's funny how jobs like this sometimes evolve from their original plan as you go along and new ideas pop into your head. I quite agree that planning and posting a blog sometimes takes just as long as the project, sorting out which photos and what order is what gets me confused!

i have to write them all down lily2 ~ i have to resize everyone first as well cos they wont load otherwise!!

What a wonderful transformation Stroller, it looks so much better, well done you! Very impressive work there!

Mosaic paths eh lulu? Clever girl stroller!

I know, isn't she clever and strong, path looks really great.

i would like to know where stroller gets her energy from!!

so would I!!

Wow what a differance it looked nice before but its brill now, well done you:o))

Me too Sticki, and in the order I want to upload them. I have to resize too which is a pain as I always forget to do it until I find GoY won't accept them!

Thats strange as most of my pics are really big..ive nver been refused?

Depends on the camera I think pixi?? When you load the picture it tells you the size you can use, I have to reduce the number of pixels on the pictures, to get within the limit.

Oh I ve no idea then lol I jsut take them wiht ym phone! Good camera is away in the the bureau somewhere lol

I set the photo settings on both my cameras in quite small pixel size, then they upload no probs! Where before they took ages and ages!

:)

thats a thought ~ thanks lulu

Wow what a transformation and what a brilliant idea. It looks absolutely fantastic, well done you.

Thank you Lily2, Lulu, Clarice and Samjp your comments are very welcome.
Sticki the energy comes from all the spinach I`ve been eating, it was OH`s idea to put in perpetual spinach but when does it end.lol.

think i better start eating it! can you send Enoch over with a bunch please?

It looks really nice now. Much better like that :o)

I agree Hywel, what an improvement. You deserve a well earned rest now Stroller. The satisfaction of looking at all your hard work from your window, with cup of tea in hand!..

oh wow it looks really fabulous, am so impressed, will keep the pics for inspiration, how did you get it all so perfectly level, what a transformation it is just great, well done ..

You could have popped over and done my front garden Stroller while you were at it. Well done you, what a difference! :-)

What a transformation, and a great idea to reuse them. Well done you should be very proud of yourself
sue

What a wonderful project. The end result is so much better than that straight old path Stroller. Now you can sit and admire your handiwork and feel really proud of your efforts.

Aren`t you a lovely lot with your encouraging remarks, it makes it all that much special, thank you.
