I built a split level garden in the back yard of a terraced house. What a waste of money that was! . I could sit out on my lounge chair and look at the flowering shrubs. I could pretend that the traffic noise was the sound of waves on the shore, but when the dogs next door peed there was no escaping the smell ,even though I had the wall topped with lavender in troughs.
Now HH mows my grass front and back -life is easier that way -but I miss having breakfast in the sun in my nightie. I am surrounded by single men in this flat and it just isnt appropriate to appear on HH's lawns in my nightie.
(By the way Mel I get a joiner tomorrow to finish the central heating install )
