    what a transformation! you'll have to take an evening picture with your twinkle lights on :)and certainly good for abeginner or anyone i'd say!!!!

    I have a question... you know the white boarding infront of your fence is there a reason for that or is it just decoration?
    The reason I ask is because i've seen the same on a few fences, including a neighbours and I was wondering if it is used to strengthen the fence or for just decoration.

    If i live to be a hundred i`ll be no wiser.I thought wisteria was the one that you see reaching rooftops, you have to buy in flower or else it takes something like 10 yr for it to produce any. :confused: :D

    My Word :eek: What a transformation [​IMG] Well done you Dancing Queen. It looks stunning and I am so pleased you have paved your garden. I wish someone would come and pave mine. I HATE GRASS :mad: :mad: :mad: I seem to spend half the day cutting it - and it's mostly weeds anyway - and when I wake up the next morning it looks like it needs cutting again. Grrrrrrrrr. Who invented the 'orrible stuff :confused:

    Enjoy your lovely garden D.Q. You deserve it [​IMG] [​IMG]
