Lovely garden, and the photos are not too shabby either.
Very nicely done.

The river Arun runs past here only about 100 yards away and is home to loads of geese.
I don't have a garden but plenty of lovely things out side to see.

Enjoy, Ian. Nature is a wonderful thing, which unfortunately passes most folk by these days: read as 'zombies' glued to their bloody mobile phones!!!

Problem is, too many folks today merely exist, rather than LIVE.....

Here's my garden:

Low maintenance!

The practical function is the preservation of my sanity.

I urgently need to do some hedge cutting, but I just can't cope with the heat at the moment. Funny, I used to work outside all year round when I was younger and nothing bothered me, cold or hot!

I urgently need to cut the grass. It was 36 degrees C when I had an opportunity to do so, so I sat down and listened to some music instead.

I used to be able to do a lot of things when I was younger........

I pay someone to do that for me.

I avoid paying anybody to do things if I can. Yes, I'm a skinflint!

Yesh, but you like 'trimming bushes' the old-fashioned way
