Ive been adventurous and built a pergola. I know its a pergola because I thought it was a pagoda but I was advised it wasn’t. This prompted some web research and now I know all about pergolas pagodas and gazebos, such is my want. The project took twice as long as However, the end result was a resounding success and last week, we blew a small fortune at the local gardening centre and now the borders are festooned with wonderful flowers.
The wildlife pond has been a bit hit and I now have a pond full of froglets all hopping madly through the purposely uncut grass, the shady ferns and the rapidly expanding jasmine bush. John’s old beer barrel-cum-fishpond is in good order now I’ve splashed out on a filtration pump and the fishys can at last see each other. Even the orphaned gnomes are happy.
So just a few finishing touches (paint the decking, put out the lights, tidy up a bit) and I can finally have my garden BBQ-slash-house warming party....
....having lived there now for just over 2 years....
Not bad
