Lesley Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Lovely photos Louise - your garden is immaculate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 The camera lies Lesley. Where I had the manky extension knocked down last September is now a sea of rubble which will (money permitting) be the next project after I get the roof fixed it needs work where the two buildings joined together. I don't have any more recent pics so you don't really see it I will try to remember to take some at the weekend. Most of the plants were already there when I moved in it just needed tidying and my mum is a great gardener so all I have to do is keep on top of it. I can't take the credit though Gosh how honest am I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I daredn't look at the photos now Louise! If I do, they'll probably disappear or you'll end up with even more empty albums in there!! I'm going to beg James for some moderating powers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I forgot Lesley I also have 2 cast iron baths in the garden at the side and back. No they are not a garden feature they are technically for sale Anyone want to buy a bath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jangle Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Louise - I have managed to name the album for you, but can't delete the empty bits - your pictures start on page 4. You have a lovely garden by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 James has e-mailed me to say he's deleted all the extra albums and has given me power over the gallery. I'm hoping the other mods will also have powers because I'm scared witless what damage I can do in there with my rollerball ! Anyway, hopefully if you have future problems in the gallery, I can now sort them out rather than add to them. Apologies for messing up your album Louise but hopefully it's back to normal again now.

SarahJo Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 ... just glad to see I am not the only one who goes a bit wrong in the gallery ... only kidding Louise. (Tatty scones in the house for the weekend brekky ). Also, very pleased to hear at least one of the mods has the power .... saves nagging James all the time . Anyway ... in one of my pics .. the fence at the bottom of the garden was leaning .... NOT anymore .. we replaced 2 panels today, and it no longer looks like a fairground fence . Graham then handed me a brush and paint and told me to get on with it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 And did you paint Graham then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 Should have tipped it over him ... having said that there was just enough left for 2 panels, and even then I added a tiny bit of water at the end to finish the post . Got the water feature cleaned out and running again for the summer, so might get a pic tomorrow, of the lights/water feature (soon fills up with frogs ) and post in the gallery.

Mrs Frugal Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Please don't make any mistakes in the gallery !! I've been using the mouse without touching the rollerball all evening to try and get out of the habit! I don't want to have to exercise any super powers just yet - at least until I've practised on my albums first!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Thanks for naming the album Janet I don't know why it won't let me but such is life As for the garden being nice weather permitting this weekend I will take pics of what the back looks like now so you can see what a mess it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I have posted some new pics of 'the other side of the garden' Just to prove I am not some wand waving alien who has a perfect neat garden In fact it is a mess with demolition work and strip grazing chickens I have plans to turn it into a back patio with a parking area and a new run for the chooks but it all takes time - I will get there I did post one of the front garden on saturday as the sun was shining and the violas looked so pretty then I took the camera round the back I keep telling myself that the girls are saving me a big job removing the weeds and moss as well as scarifying it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 You are quite right Louise - you have got plenty of work ahead of you!! The front does look pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Thats why I show people the pics of the front first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I've just managed to look at all your garden photos, Louise - after my "little" accident the other day, I daren't look again until I had the power to delete myself!! Anyway, your garden is lovely. I'd love to have mature trees like that to look at - I'm a bit of a tree hugger ! I'd be out there all the time!!

Louise Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Trees I do have alot of I will post another pic taken from the other side of the valley you can just see my house through the trees and you can just see the Eglu but it will show you trees!! They are okay but most of the ones round the garden although they aren't on my land have preservation orders and you have to jump through hoops to get them pollarded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Louise .. remind me never to take a bath at your house . Either that or a quick dip in the river . Only joking .. great picss, very Scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Hm not the first to comment on my bathing choices I have 2 inside baths as well so alfresco bathing is optional Glad you liked the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammi J Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I have just returned from the gallery and I just wanted to say.... WOW All the gardens look fantastic. Louise- your garden and area remind me of all the great holidays I've had in scotland. Hubby's dream place. Jane- Love the real winter garden feel I got looking a your picture. Sarah Jo- You indeed have a fine castle grounds to be proud of. Lesley- Looks like you work hard in your garden and have lots of own grown food to enjoy eatting. Kate- A wonderful ickle garden to sit in and watch the bats and frogs and admire the new grown grass. I think you are all brillant gardens and you may just have inspired me to nab an ickle bit of garden to grow some veg in.... even if it's just for the chooks and my rabbit!! The only thing I do in our garden is clean out the animals and read!! Well done ladies. Love Sammi -x- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna 1 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I agree Sammi. They're all amazing gardens. (sigh) I'm really impressed and more than just a little jealous. I'm now definitely too embarrassed to post any pics of our little well-pecked, well-scratched, well-poohed-on plot... I've got a lot of work to do on it (that's after I finish my current project which involves 150 girls, a lot of costumes - at least 150, one hopes! - and a musical production). I sometimes think I should give up my day-job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jangle Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I have finally got around to posting some more recent pictures of the garden (taken on Sunday and this morning) so you can see what it looks like at the moment. Everybody else's are so beautiful too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
