This brought a tear to my eye,

Ive put my Elgar CD on too.

 

I enjoyed reading that

 

Lovely really lovely and so true too.
I'm one of those gardeners that crawl about on my knees.... thank goodness for knee pads! :D

Thank goodness indeed! I couldnt do without mine either!! Are you aware of any other examples of gardening/gardens in literature? I enjoy the whole aesthetic thingy, both doing gardening and reading about other people gardening!! Especially back in the day when times were 'ard!

 

Bunslip times are still 'ard or at least it is for me 'blooming hard' not being in the garden that is! :D

When one so enjoys one thing we tend to preach to one another the joys of it sometimes it falls on deaf ears but we keep trying and I for one also love reading and seeing other's gardens and of course their experience in it but that could be because I'm a nosy old mare as well! :D

If you do manage to find some good data etc. to read let me know please.
