    Very nice BIG garden my friend. You obviously work hard to keep it looking so pleasant. Needless to say, get well soon, and keep up the good work you have put into your bit of utopia.

    Lovely Pal. Mine is looking a sorry state at the moment, got a bit neglected what with me being away for nearly a month on & off and all the rain. Never mind. Won't ever look as good as yours but you give us something to aspire to albeit it a much smaller way:)

    cheers

    :DClaire if you had seen the garden 28 years ago that's the last thing you would have thought!:D It was a total mess and had not been cultivated for 30 years. Within three months of moving in I hurt my back and not only was I unable to tend it but I was virtually unable to walk for four years:dh:.
    So it's taken me over 20 years to get it as it is.....I used to win prizes for me veg:wink: but now I'm content to potter through the shrubs and Roses:)....Hang on!...perhaps you're right after all:yez:

    This is my labour of love:luv:...pruning the 'Wedding Day' rambler and 'Paul's Scarlet' that are twined together at last.

    I started two weekends ago and managed to finish yesterday afternoon:)

    Then it was on to the job of clearing up without the use of matches and creating lovely mulch for the Spring time..

    All I have to do now is find space for a fifth compost bin:D

    Very true Dave:)....I'm sure it was the Snowdrops being in flower that gave me the incentive to venture out and start clearing up the borders....and I had a very relaxing six hours doing just that:gnthb:
