Hi Sandra ...
Thanks. We had a great time.
The tug rope is getting good use.
Knitted doggie is safe, up high, near Crocus.. ;o) x

Great blog Terra.Loved the plants.Your garden always looks so neat and tidy, not like mine.I wonder why my Wisley Cream never flowers, and I've had it for 3 years now.

Hello Rose ... thank you ...

Wisley Cream takes a while to establish ...

...on mine, the parts which get sunshine are those most likely to flower ..I hope yours flowers for you soon. :o)

It's wonderful to see a different kind of white in the gardens this year compared to the two previous years!

I love to see your garden, TT! Great to see the doggies are enjoying their new toy as well. :-))

Hi Balcony .. Thanks ..

Yes, this is a better kind of white. Lol.

New rope toy is very popular with doggies ! :o)

Love all the pics... especially the rose and the knitted dog! Hope the furry ones are doing alright too :)

Thanks Jennyfer ..

Furry friends are well, thank you. Feathery friend is recovering from a moult, so perking up :o)

Knitted dog is fab. isn't it ! Such a lovely gift. :o)

Your garden looks lovely and fresh Terra, its great to still have lots of roses in flower, nice to see the boys having fun with their present, due to my state of mind my boys will be getting their toy present later, mind you they did get lots of eatable gifts, much to their delight, lol..
I do like the knitted gift...

Hi Lincslass ... Thank you ...

Good idea for you to give your boys their toy presents later on, when you can relax and enjoy them more.

In fact, my pets have gifts as yet unwrapped... Not their choice to wait ... LOL. ... but I like to "spread out" their presents, rather than my dogs receiving all their gifts at the same time.

Yes, the knitted Terrier is sooo cute :o)

Impossible to catch up on here isn't it? I keep trying.
Your lovely plants always look so healthy, obviously they get the same kind of care that you give to the boys and Crocus:-) Love the knitted terrier too, what talented people Goyers are:-))

Hi Bornagain ...
I agree about endeavouring to catch up ...
I keep on trying, just like you do !

Thanks for your kind words about my gardens and pets ..
yes, the woolly Terrier is very cute ...
... I'm so pleased with him.
GoY members are very kind :o)

You keep your garden so well looked after and cherished TT, no wonder that Truffles and Conker enjoy their modelling in such a lovely setting, you`ve chosen such good shrubs for all season round interest. We have had such a mild winter so far and the roses have made the most of it, lets hope that it carries on.
Glad to hear you had a wonderful Christmas and hope the new year brings you and yours good times.

Hi Stroller .. Thanks ...
Nice to hear from you ... In recent years I've planted evergreens and winter interest plants which I can see from indoors.

Yes, a good December for roses !
All the best to you and yours for 2012. :o)

Love that Terrier TT! and all your flowers and plants of course.

Thanks Karen ...
That knitted Terrier is sooooo cute, isn't it ...

... and very well-behaved too ... Lol.

:o)))

This mild winter your brilliant photos depict must be such a joy after that horrendous one you had last year - enjoy it while it lasts!

Thanks, Terry60 ...
The mild weather has been very welcome. Many people in the UK have just received heating bills, demanding lots of money, and that's with no prolonged icy spells ..

.. so if the next quarter has many freezing days, who knows how huge the heating bills will be !
