Wow! 

Where are you then?  I can just see the sea from mine - but it is pretty distant!  Not nearly as good a view as yours!  Must be a real problem working rather than sitting on a bench with a pair of binoculars and watching all sorts!

Incidentally - is that your lottie below with the wind netting?  I was wondering about whether to get some of that as mine is very very windy.  Can you - if it is not yours - ask them how effective it is and let me know?  Pretty please!

It looks very neat all the way round! Jealous - who me?

Old Bird ;D

Ha ha........Yes that is my other lottie below.

Yes to the question of debris netting, it does protect them quite a bit.

If you click my blog site at the bottom of this post you can see where I am etc.

After doing all this hard work Mal, this is my next year's plan. Sit back with a coffee and watch everyone else digging and working hard  ;D ;)  ;D

wow that is absolutely lovely. AND you have a greenhouse to admire it all from *jealous*

One day mine will look like that (minus the view). In about 1000 years.

You are pure evil Lauren  :o every now and then just as we are forgetting about your lovely views you post them again, evil that's what it is. Just for that there will be a mini bus load of us coming to visit from London and Georgie will be driving.    :o   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi Lauren - now I can see exactly where the greenhouse is. If I get a bunch of those lovely flowers I just might come to visit again  ;). I should be driving again in a week or so (have had knee surgery, so am out of action at the moment). How did your squashes do?
