That’s an inspiring read Susy - I love to see the garden waking up and then decide what to move, what new plants to add etc. it’s a ‘new’ garden and I’ve spent two years trying to bring it to life - it’s definitely on the way now thankfully.
Hi there Anne, delighted to hear you are working on a new garden - it all takes time to become established doesn't it. I love this time of year because the garden changes every day. I open the curtains each morning to see what else has come into leaf, formed blooms, grown wider or taller - it always astonishes me how much change there is. Glad you found this an inspiring read.
Hi there Sue, gardening in Italy will, I imagine, be very different from here! Different rewards and challenges I should think. I don't know if you're aware but I used to open my garden in Hampshire for the Yellow Book, but that was half an acre and really interesting because it was based around the old railway station where we lived at that time. I have considered opening here, but never feel my garden is good enough or unusual/interesting enough. I may change my mind at some point...Thanks, as always, for your interest
So fascinating and inspiring! I love gardening and shaping areas and am looking forward to do a lot more in our small place in Italy when my husband retires later this Summer. Just wonder… gab you ever considered having an ‘Open Garden Day’ with your beautiful outdoor space?!🤗. I’m sure you would have lots of interested ladies kern to learn from you planting! Have a lovely weekend 🌷🌸
Hi there Kitty, the shed is still here, in fact I meant to include a picture but forgot! It isn't, sadly, a writing shed . That would be a real luxury. It is a potting shed and filled with all my tools and gardening paraphernalia as I don't have anywhere to store those - and it it is always a mess! Even though I tidy it from time to time, it gets messy really quickly again. I have always had the green oak bench - Marnie Doyle made it for us at the same time as the big table.

Lots of good ideas. Where has the writing shed gone? And is the green oak bench what was the dining table? Good recycling!
