    It looks very nice roders, I hope the gutters are now as clean and tidy as the rest of your garden.

    BTW, nothing wrong with old clay pots, the older the better, I say.:)

    Roders, very pro, and easy on the eye.:thumb:
    I hope you have done a 'Working at Heights' course as I have done. I have a certificate to prove that I can fall off a ladder as well as the next man(or woman).:D

    Looks great, I particularly like the pond cover. What is the tube edging the welmesh? is it copper?

    :) Thank you so much for all for your kind comments

    :) Strongy what is a" Working at Heights" course.............been climbing ladders for 40 years,just getting the hang of it lol.

    Pro the pond cover has been made recently as granchildren need to be kept safe.It will take my weight and will keep the Heron off ,It's 2"x2"weldmesh edged with 20mm round bar made for us FOC as my wife works for a metal fabrication company ,a welder ;).

    LoL, For-Get-Me-Nots are all over now :(.
    and yes that IS the Mother bamboo.

    :thumb::thumb: Hey roders, that is looking great mate.!:D It is very pleasing to the eye I agree. A relaxed & happy garden I would say...;):D
    :( I don't get the opportunity to "look down" on my garden as we have an old cottage with low small windows..!! I shall have to go & visit my friend at the top of the garden & go into her attic room.. Years since I have been up there & never really looked at my garden then..!!:D
