Our paved area/path was finished yesterday . . . .now to get onto the green bit. . . and the pond edging . . . we are a 70's pink crazy paving free zone.

We had a new pond liner fitted and the edging replaced earlier this year, now just hope the heron stays away.

Love the paving, looks better the closer it gets :thumbsup:

I'm afraid I'm in a lull. Just got back from a week away yesterday to see the bluebells, lilac and wisteria have all gone :down:

Just the Rhodies (mainly in pots with a few in the garden) keeping the colour going. But I reckon it's summer bedding time this weekend and I have decided that all the hanging baskets will be those brilliant orange/reddish edged double begonias. Any idea where I can get them locally to BN1 ? I've always found that Notcutts out at Ditchling do good bedding, if a little pricey ???

Whilst you were in Tahiti, we had a persistent cold wind that took the blossom, Blossom.

Dunhelm sell a wide array of bedding.

I have to say, there is no better end to a holiday than to come home to find the weather has been shit here :wink:

Conversely, I’ve encountered a few non-jokey “You shouldn’t have gone away, it’s been lovely here”.

No …. it was great staying in an overseas hotel in a lovely setting.

Sussex, by the sea
Thanks, idea with herringbone was to break visually from the back of the house house, and lose the 'square' factor . . the straight bricks path to the man cave make it 'longer'

You can't see in the snap, but the start of the path is in line with the kitchen window/sink . . . A side Step by the pond break and the second half in line with the workshop doors.

No feng, no shui, just logic. . . . Although the same thing IMO.
