Title: Hall of shame...
Post by: Trillium on June 12, 2005, 19:00:00
We all put up pictures of the best bits of our gardens - I thought I'd own up to some of the worst bits of mine - in the hope it might inspire me to sort it out! 

As a very apt quote I recently read pointed out, 'Sunlight is the best bleach'

Hi Two-spot,

But if things aren't perfect you can have so much fun planning what you want to do...  Once it's done, that anticipation is lost.

And kids' play gear is always tricky to work round - a friend of mine has a giant trampoline in the back garden - let's just call it a design challenge  :)

You're right GW - you can't keep it tidy if it's all on the floor.

Anyway, the shame factor worked and I sorted out the shed.  (Proof is on the blog). The path will have to wait for a better day.  It was unbelievably cool and wet here - didn't get above 15C all day.  Horrid.

 ::) Trillium, you ought to be ashamed >:( leaving that chest outside, I could give it a good home in my shed, (if I could find the floor to place it on). ;D

I have a regular clean out of my shed and garage about once every year without fail and then the Wife picks that time for jobs to be done, ::) (just because I happened to look active for a mo) ::) So I trundle through the jobs on the list's (having dropped a few in the bin) and the shed and garage is in a mess again.

There must be a moral to this story. If you want a quiet life with your trouble and strife keep a clean shed and garage to have a happy marriage. ;D :P ;D

Hiya Trillium

Are you absolutely sure that's your shed, rather than mine? It all looks really familiar for some reason....
