Title: Hi everybody!!!
Post by: eileen on November 05, 2005, 12:05:28
Just in case I've been missed - I'M BACK!!!!!  ;D We've been very busy of late building a new pond in the garden, cleaning out the shed, painting two hallways, flooring two hallways etc etc etc.  ::)

Sitting here with a fractured heel at the moment. I managed to come down heavily on the side of one of my stepping stones -  OUCH - trust me eh!!!

Hope you've all been fit and well and have been enjoying your gardens and allotments to the full.

Here's a quick piccie of the  new pond - only the mound to finish off now - phew - what the heck does 'rest' mean I wonder!!  ::)

Firstly - how it all started:

You plonker, fancy hurting your foot!  I don't know!!  ;D  Glad you are back and great work on the pond.  WOW!  Very impressive indeed.   I am guessing that the pebbles are a waterfall???

Eileen. It made me feel tired just reading all the things you have been doing LOL. The pond looks super, crikey I bet that heel is painful, does it have to be in plaster and how long for it to heal? Best wishes Lorna.

What a busy bee you've been - hope the heel doesn't take too long to mend atleast it may make you have a little rest now!!!!!!!!!

Love the pond - OH and I have been talking about making pond next year now the sprogs have grown a little and the slide and sand-pit seem somewhat redundant thought we might make use of the space  :)

Eileen sooo happy to see you back again!  The pond looks great and I think a great deal of planning must have gone in to the design - I love the wee coloured toadstools and the waterfall idea is smashing.  Well done to Ian and yourself.  

Sorry to hear about your heel - but, looking on the bright(?) side, isn't it lucky it didn't happen when you were half way through the work  ;) :D

Lovely to see you back Eileen!  ;D
Now, for goodness sake put the paint brush away, put your feet up, get Ian to keep topping up your glass, and browse the seed catalogues, then dream of next spring!!   ;)   ;D

Hi Eileen (wondered where you had got to :-\) - pond looks great, all your hard work has paid off :)  I too love the toadstools - keep meaning to get some for my pond rockery.  Trust you to fracture your heel  ;)  I do hope you will recover quickly, but in the meantime (as has been said) - stay cool girl and enjoy some pampering ;) :)

Hello Eileen. Sory to hear about your injury.

My goodness though you have been busy. That pond looks very nice. A lot of effort gone in there i am sure. Not sure about the toadstools but hey if you like it why not?

All the best.

I was much taken with the spread of canapés between the chairs in the first photo. All set out for your big relax.

Then I looked again!!
