    This is the bottom corner of my garden which we created from scratch as the builders left it over 20 years ago.

    Thankyou for you kind comments, here is another part-my OH laid all these tiny bricks himself.

    I have four wooden nest boxes along the back but they only went up last year. I have others scattered around and had a wrens nest but she seems to have vacated sadly.

    Thanks Pippa and Rosa - a nice place for a glass or two :D We do sit and have our lunch there on a nice day like Darby and Joan.

    We bought the clock because it is a station clock and has Kensington on the top - that's where I was born so it seemed appropriate for that corner.

    Hi Rosa, we bought our clock locally. I have seen them in a few shops but the prices vary considerably. They all have different station names on them.

    Thankyou Walnut and Cookiemonster for your comments. Yes I do have quite a few quirky things around - makes it all more interesting :) My favourite thing would have to be a stone lionds face on the wall.

    Anyone welcome to the seat for a glass or two..or three...:gnthb:
