My secret place for reading garden books

My secret place for reading garden books

Yesterday we spent the day cleaing cutting back hedges and filling a large skip,we were so tired we went to the beach and had dinner a well deserved treat The garden looks clean now and I can get into the glasshouse I have idea for it now as it has been a junk area this last year we have big trees growing over our back area from neighbours gardens si I am limited as to what to but there I have tried so many plants over the year and failed but it is covered now but a big waste the old lady who lives in the house cannot afford to get the trees cut down and said we ha permission to do so so we enquired and the last guy who we got a price from cost 4 thousand euro to shred and take them away I DONT THINK SO !!!!!!!!. not even ours.They are lovely so I think they must stay.Skip is full house empty garden clean what else do I need .

I have put some photos of a lovely clean garden

Bet you feel the bette of the clear out, your reading spot looks lovely, can imagine sitting quite happily there for a few hours reading away.

Your reading area looks very inviting.!! You would have to wonder wouldn't you.€4,000 to cut down some trees!!! In the wrong business. Must look into training as a tree surgeon.!!!!!

My God, Clare, you only ever gave us glimpses of your garden. It's very cosy and inviting. Who is the photographer? Brilliant photos. I love your 'reading spot'. It's charming.

I have a garden that is in 4 different areas I go to the back of the shed with the green door and behind is the water garden and if we have friends to eat in the summer then we go up 5 steps to whare the big trees overhang and then the place whare I do my reading we are so lucky we do not have any houses overlooking at the back
