Hi all we moved into our present home in early summer of 2006 after living in our old house for 20 odd years and having a garden how we wanted we upped sticks.
Our 'new' garden was too much trouble for the old gentleman that lived there before us so all the gardens front, back and side were just bumpy grass.
Below are pictures of our back garden. In the following picture you can just see our garden dragon guarding a bowl of gems.

Here's the work we did this summer the pathway is getting done next year.

I wanted to try and take away the funny shape of the back garden so I added some curves.

Planted some plants

This is my naughty area it was supposed to been decked this year but due to my husband (Bob) not being very well health-wise (he's at the end of stage 4 kidney failure) this area has had to be put of hold for the time being.

This is our side garden all done from scratch in a mad burst of energy last July.

It has a lovely tiny deck area built by Bob with just enough room for two chairs and a little table.Hel.xxx.
