Lovely old house and garden 

The amount of work that goes into a garden - exhausting

Next year i'm digging out half of our garden (that's after I planted the thing) cos it's way out of control - I over planted

Yes , I’m sure they can’t do it all themselves ....there aren’t enough hours in the day ! Just the weeding alone would take ages

I would love a huge garden that would need a team of helpers

I know what you mean ....I went out the other day and sat on the bench with a cup of tea....but ended up in floods ...

It's not silly at all - changing someone else's work - I feel a little awkward touching my Dad's things

We don’t know how lucky we are that we’ve never had to go to war!

Yes, my daughter is going to have to take down another part of the pergola.....and I know she’s right , but even though my head says it’s just lumps of wood , but in my heart it feels like yet another loss !

I've been watching Band of Brothers

I know without doubt I would 'not' be a hero - it looks terrifying

No wonder few wanted to talk about it when they returned

Oh wow ....the plant is powering those lights

I'm not parting with any of my Dad's clothes - ever

I can't

Yes ....I’d be a total coward My dad was a Japanese prisoner of war , but hardly ever talked about it ...just an odd few words every now and then

Goodness me - terrible

I'd be so scared

I love this guy’s gardens .....they are always so peaceful 

This morning I did a spot of topiary on my box hedging after reading a bit of Rupert Brooke

LOL - that's totally true

If I had loads of money , that’s the sort of garden I’d have

I’d say medium Renton .....I live in a detached house on a corner plot ....so I’ve got a wrap around garden

Yes 

He looks weird in that T-shirt 

8 acres - good grief that's about 4 football pitches I think

I like the Duchess of Cambridge 

Lovely getting the kids involved
