        I think I am a very lucky lady to have such a clever husband - I keep going into the garden to admire the plants, its lovely to have such a splash of colour and I think it's going to look amazing when the plants start to grow and reach their full potential :D

          Catdragon, I reckon you are a lucky lady who is married to one very lucky guy. What a beautiful spot you live in - it looks and feels lovely to me. Enjoy watching it mature,
          Jenny

              Uuuummmm,
              whilst you gaze with well desrved satisfaction at your new creation, I failed to notice anywhere for you to sit with a glass or of something. Next on your "still to do" list? I like to think of you sitting comfortably somewhere in there.

              Jenny, I think that the decking at the end of that bed is ideal for sitting. They can admire the work they've done in their lovely garden and have that magnificent view over the fields. :dbgrtmb:

              Don't worry, there's plenty of places to sit around the rest of the garden:)

                  How beautifully everything is settling in Len. And I can see where you have the perfect spot to enjoy it all from. Is the view North West facing? It doesn't appear to be wind battered after that rotten weather we had recently so I assume it is quite sheltered?

                  Yes, the garden kinda points NNW. We have had lots of battering weather, but everything seems to have come out of it fairly well, considering.
