A Small Country Garden · More Info

My garden is doing an outstanding job of rewilding itself, courtesy of a dog who likes digging, a plethora of self seeding, erm, vigorous plants and a good dose of general neglect...

Though in all seriouslness, our allotment society has just decided to return the pristine cut lawns in our orchard to become a wildflower meadow. The preparation and seeding took place last weekend - I look forward to the results!

May the pollinators look favourably on my berries & beans...

I won a bike in a competition just before Christmas ,but due to a knee problem I'm unable to ride this beautiful prize . I knocked down my shed last summer due to its age so now have nowhere to store my bike . It's in the hall , has to be negotiated around , I'm reluctant to sell it as I want to ride it !! I live in a terrace so back access is complicated and due to the knee problem I can't haul it up the front steps !! New house needed .... for me and my bikey !

POLL: Do you change your home according to the seasons?
Q

Yes, absolutely. It's great to add small changes in your home, even if it is changing the flowers in the room to daffodils for the spring time or putting a pop of colour with cushions for the sofa, a small change can make the difference in any room. Decorating for the seasonal festive i.e. Halloween or Christmas is also a big part of showing your unique style in how you decorate.

Hi. Before 1.5 year ago we had a wonderful neighbours! Was really good friends and we still visiting them and they us. But new owners are nightmare, horrible. They do everything what they wont and no body can help! Build shed along boundaries without asking permission, when we was build fence at boundaries they was demanded fence at 2.5 m high. They smoking meat at weekend day time, knocking at walls in the middle of night, swearing when play games - with open windows, loud music . Just no words! We try to chat with them - but they polish and was just two answers - I do not understand and Its my property I can do what I want! Council was told its both private properties -we cant do nothing! We just wait maybe they decide to move somewhere . But its just one house in community - where bad neighbours-others are friendly and we make bbq together and do children's parties.

@rachelmidlands, thanks for the links and advice we are eventually going to move out (after 2019 wedding) we are preferably looking for a house with a garden as we have no nearby allotments and no public space attached to the flat (3rd floor). The reason I ask about pet proofing the back garden is so that Selene has the option to go outside if she wishes to, as at present she is strictly an indoor cat, she's fully chipped, spayed and up to date with her vaccines, flea and worming my ONLY worry is that she is an exotic breed (Egyptian Mau) so we are understandably very concerned about her security that she will be stolen if she ventured out of the garden as we have had numerous cats in our neighbourhood stolen (and worse killed) hence why we want a secure and safe place for her to explore and enrich her life. I have experience introducing dogs to cats and know what dog would suit our lifestyle. I will look more into it closer to the time but thank you for the advice for now.
