Spectacular, Eric.  I was going to say your are lucky but I guess the "luck" comes as  the result of lots of hard work!

Splendidly-docious!  Is that a viburnam, that white pompom jobbee?  I only ask cos I looked at one in the nursery today, and was reasonably priced and a good size.  Kinda fancy one of those in my garden, have to loose a bit more lawn but the kids don't need that much grass....do they ???  ;)

Lovely Eric, really spectacular!

Great Photos Eric  ;D

But I have one question:

How are you still using HPphoto. I thought they had stopped us linking photos to other websites? ???

Do you have a 'special arrangement' with the webmasters to allow you to keep on doing it. ::)

Or did I misunderstand the email I received from them? :-\

Just to answer my own question.

Posting links from HP albums is ok, its linking individual photos from there that they have stopped.

Please correct me if I am wrong. :)

Eric, I can only echo all the other comments and praise.  You and Anne have worked tremendously hard to get such a fabulous place.  I hope that you do have the time to stop and smell the roses (I know that you dont like roses but you know what I mean) Thank you for sharing your lovely plot with us. :-*

We are very gratified that you find our efforts pleasing. Gardening is often done in a vacuum so to speak. We find it pleasing to our eyes, but it is very nice to know that others find it so too. You would be welcome to visit if any of you are ever passing. Just bring your knee protectors and gardening gloves, there are plenty of weeds to be removed.
