A new start....

Happy new home. Looks like you're making the garden your own.

Wow that looks amazing Julia, it will be a lovely place for you to sit with your cuppa ..We wish you all the best in your new home , You and I know all the hassle of moving has been worth it to see more of our lovely grandchildren .. xx
I will PM you soon x

It's been well worth all the hard work and blips along the journey,Julia,and I have been following every step of it,from Yorkshire to Lancs,with you ! Oh my,and what a journey,but you got there with rugged determination and you are now in your forever 'Happy Place' . It came as no surprise that a new garden was going to be almost at the top of your list of 'to do ' jobs..Lol.
We wish you every happiness,and hopefully,your Yorkshire roots will be drawing you back for a visit ,before too long..:o) xx
PM on the way soon.x

I too hope you will be very happy and contented in your new home and that life soon becomes less hectic for you both.
Your garden is looking really lovely so far and it will be so interesting to watch it 'grow!'
Very best wishes for the future - glad you chose the right county at last!!!

Thank you for your encouraging comments everyone.

Meadowland; Thank you. Still lots to do...

Anget; Thank you. That's the plan...

Amy;
Yes we both know the trials of moving home at this time, but I agree, it's all worthwhile now we see the grandchildren more often.Look forward to reading your pm. No rush..

Sandra;
I've been helped so much by your constant flow of 'funnies' and emails, but they're not the same as meeting up face to face. Hopefully that meeting isn't too far away.xx

Wildrose;
I was brought up for much of my childhood on the boarder of the two counties, so the move wasn't too hard. We are both looking forward to a time of relaxation and watching the garden develop. Thank you for your good wishes.

Health and happiness in your new home and garden!.

It's nice to hear from you Julia and I'm glad that you are doing well. Congratulations on the move, I'm glad you found your house and the garden is looking grand. Moving is never easy under the best of circumstances. Thankfully the worst is behind you and you can start to enjoy your new home. Today I went out without a face mask and nobody said anything about it. When you get a free moment, please see my latest blog. I would love to have a garden wall like yours but it's against the building code. My neighbors love to gawk. Enjoy your new home and don't be a stranger around here.

Gerardine; Thank you so much.

Bathgate; Paul, I'll do my best to 'visit' more often in the future.
We've never had a brick wall before in our garden and I thought the garden clock helped to make a feature of it. I intend to keep posting blogs of how the garden develops.

I hope you're right about the worst being behind us. It's been a tough journey and certainly not one we would have undertaken under normal circumstances.

Lucky you being able to go out without your face mask. I hate wearing the darn thing and can't wait until we can ditch ours.

Take care and thank you for your kind comments.

Julia, firstly please accept my apologies for not replying to your PM in May!!! Computer issues - now sorted - hooray.

Well done on doing the garden work - I do like your trellis and wonder what you have planted to go against them?

Looks like you have children neighbouring on one side - I can see a trampoline!

We wish you both lots of happiness in your new home (and garden of course). :o)

Shirley; Not too worry, I've been rather busy so probably wouldn't have had time to reply anyway.

Glad you like the garden so far. The trellis have a variety of climbers. I'll be posting blogs in the future to show how things develop.

You're quite right about the neighbours children, in fact it's a little girl called 'Cloe' She's 6 years old and a lovely little girl. So is her mum Sarah, who's a single mum and is doing a fantastic job.

Thank you for your good wishes...I've sent you a quick PM.

Glad you are finally able to enjoy your new house and garden, Waddy.

Best wishes for your new home. I know the horror of trying to get things done during the pandemic. My niece bought a house which needed things done and trying to pin workmen down, get things delivered (correctly, or returned when not correct) was an ongoing problem. People who promised to arrive and didn't, things to be delivered that weren't - nightmare. Hopefully all that is behind you now and you just have the joy of enjoying the garden planning and watching it grow.

Lovely to see you back Waddy The garden looks lovely enjoy. Denise x

Lovely to hear from you Waddy, you have made a very impressive start on your garden and its going to be great to watch how it progresses. A lot of hard work and determination has gone into your move but being close to your family will soon make all those negative times disappear. All the best for the future, don`t forget to take a little time out now and again just to sit and relax.

Drc726; Thank you Denise. :-)

Stroller; Thank you. Yes it's been hard work, but seeing the granddaughters each week, at least, has been worth every aching joint lol!

Your new garden looks a manageable size Waddy, and it's nice that you live near your family now, it's better for you all :)

It's one of our better moves Hywel.
