This years new project and OH says its definitely the last!!

ooer you and OH have been busy happy Anniversary. Love the arbour/pergola, it is very nice and will look so pretty when things have grown up and over, what a lovely place for your old lintel, you can sit and watch the garden grow. :O)

The harbour looks lovely well done to your OH he deserves a pat on the back love the Clematis gorgeous colour the whole area looks nice like the rustic bench too.

I think my Jasmine is dead so you did right removing it Stroller . old sixpence now 3dbit.

Well I think that looks lovely...I love a pergola. I've been plotting to have one here but so far to no avail! :) I think your first photo of the clematis is missing its 'g' on 'jpg' at the end of the link Phyl. You may have accidentally deleted it when editing the blog. That may be why it's not working. You'll be pleased with the evergreen jasmine, I love mine and in a more southerly situation it will thrive.

Thanks Olive and 3d and from OH too.
Thanks Karen you could well be right I shall take more care when I next do any editing.
When I was thinking about jasmine I always look at what you have then I know I can`t go wrong.

Its a very inviting little corner now, and a very good way to spend some of your holiday! I've never seen one fitted into a corner like that and its so effective!

Thank you Stera so glad you like it.

After all OH's hard work, glad you enjoyed some time away. Now you can sit, relax and enjoy your pergola. He deserves it!

I`m sure we will Siris just hope we get a drop more of this rain before the heatwave that's promised.

Raining as I'm sitting here, :-). It looks really lovely and love that you used old lintel for a bench. Look forward to seeing more photos as it matures.

I am overwhelmed with that comment Phyl! (Blushing) x

Stroller you have been saying thats the last project for a few years now, I'll look forwards to next years one, lol, great idea making use of the old lintel again, it fits in just right doesn't it and the pergola as you say will look smashing when your climbers take hold and start to spread out, even more so when in flower, nice idea in the corner like that, well done Hubby...

Thanks Lincs but OH has had to do most of the work on this one as my arthritis has stopped my little game when it comes to any heavy work and at 76yrs he feels enough is enough so its just planting, light pruning and weeding from now on, unless of course I can find a young muscle man.lol.

It looks lovely and will last much longer than a few days away .. Happy anniversary enjoy a glass of wine on your patio ...

Thanks Amy, we shall be out there as soon as the weather permits, meanwhile the garden is enjoying the much needed rain.

You have always done so well Stroller so both deserve to take it easier, its hard to let go though isn't it, my hip and gammy knee give me a lot of aggro these days, I'll be 70 on Saturday and wet days like today my joints remind me....
