    There is one delighful cottage in our village which attracted my attention with a very neat and colourful front garden.
    So, being the gent I am I knocked today to ask if I could take some pictures for posting.
    You can imagine my suprise when David and Cynthia ask me if I would like to see the back garden!
    All will be reveled in the pictures I have posted below.
    D & C started with a blank canvess after retiring and moving into this property. The back garden was covered with builders rubble and dirt.
    After a JCB had done its work they began this work of passion which even today keeps them both busy each and every day.
    It was a real pleasure to spend some time in this garden
    Thank you David and Cynthia for allowing me to take and post pictures

    Hi Robert,
    thanks for posting these pics for us all to enjoy. :)

    I have to say the garden and house are stunning. David and Cynthia must love their garden, it is so beautifully looked after and a lot of thought has gone into the planting.
    I am green with envy, that would be my perfect house and garden :gnthb:

    Maybe they should open it up for viewing?
