    We only moved here in September 2005. This was the garden at the beginning of this year.

    This what the garden looks like now, from the opposite direction. There is just one patch of brambles left. The flowers are snapdragons that my mother-in-law grew from seed. They give a brilliant splash of colour.

    Hello, Celia, and welcome to GC! What a transformation in under a year ... looks like you folk were slaves for the winter! You have so much scope with such a beautiful garden ... and wow, what a location as well!

    Wow Celia, did you grab yourself a bargain? I wonder how many people walked away from putting in an offer on the house because of the garden. Looks great now! Nice bank for sledging! :D
