    1. Yes Mano, that first shot gives that impression but actually it is a very nice clay soil here, i'm just across that line from more sandy soil and clay, lots of fruit growers in this area, x

  4. Renilde, Hello, Thanks for your comment on my post about the breasts to kiss, I was thinking a while if I show that text, but now I realize that sensible people like you, they like it
    I loved seeing your notebook with illustration and text on the clothesline from your neighbors! is like watching a bit something of your every day's life, thanks for sharing.
    Still, spring is not seen much, right? Will come! will come!!!! :)

    1. hihi, i wouldn't mind owning a park if only i had some gardeners to call in then, now it is a size i can just manage on my own, though the past 2 years i did have some help to clip the bigger hedges and to spade the kitchen garden, xx

  6. I love your garden...the formal boxwood hedges and surrounding bigger hedges. It looks like a secret garden, a place I'd like to sit, bring a book and tea and let the afternoon roll by. Hope you are enjoying the unfolding of spring!
