Oh, it's beautiful! Lots of hard work I expect, but completely worth it.

That garden is idyllic, how on earth do you keep it looking that way along with everything else you do?

How are you ever going to find another home with a garden that lives up to that?

Thank you for the lovely comments It really is a gorgeous garden and there are aspects of it I will definitely miss.

We are very lucky as Chris' dad often comes & mows the lawn and he sometimes digs the veg plot too :thumb: I do pretty much everything else but the beds largely look after themselves as they are so full so I don't have to dig very often There'a always a lot of cutting back & staking up to but I enjoy that. The hedges are the biggest job. We have no man-made boundaries and so keeping the hedges looking nice is a challenge & I don't let anyone touch them March -October bacause of nesting birds

Really hope the wildflower meadow works. I was so inspired after watching Sarah Ravens 'Bees & Butterflies' programme

No ......but you can move into the cottage...when we've finished it...assuming you buy it! :lol:

Makes 'my house' (where we live) look tiny doesn't it?! Which it is really!
