Will the kittens be venturing into the garden, or are they purely indoor cats?Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-84205454299147411512007-08-20T20:59:00.000+01:002007-08-20T20:59:00.000+01:00Well, I used to THINK I wanted a large yard (garde...Well, I used to THINK I wanted a large yard (garden to you) until I actually HAD one. Ugh...so much to weed! I'd much rather have a small neat yard than a large shaggy one.<BR/><BR/>Oh -- in answer to your query, I am in the north/midwest U.S. -- Michigan (the state shaped rather like a mitten).

It looks absolutely lovely... as does everything else in your beautiful garden. I love your use of the word 'wee' as here in the states we assume that's the way people in Scotland talk. Boy, are we 'stereotypers' over here (did I just coin a new word?)<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry I didn't answer your email, but we have been at the lake and the so-called computer hook-up there didn't work. We came home last night and will be going back in a few days. I'll respond sometime today.<BR/>JoniYummers!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03214283232145121905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-60093144556759416292007-08-13T01:08:00.000+01:002007-08-13T01:08:00.000+01:00Isabelle - your garden is delightful!

Most houses are being built without eaves, which is lunacy in our climate, but if they did have eaves then they would probably overlap the neighbours eaves. I could go on forever about the lack of space for children to play; but then, we've not having children now, are we?<BR/><BR/>I also loved the views over the water.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901064145483995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-11928381119654168812007-08-12T06:00:00.000+01:002007-08-12T06:00:00.000+01:00Oh Isabelle, I wish you hadn't put those beautiful...Oh Isabelle, I wish you hadn't put those beautiful photos on! I want to come back, NOW! There is just something so beautiful about a British garden, that doesn't seem to happen here in Australia. I suppose Mt.Macedon is as close as it comes. Loved the Forth Bridge shots too. I have some of these in my album from a few years ago. I was in Edinburgh in 1991 and actually drove myself. Then we returned several times and last time we drove up the east coast to St. Andrews and fell in love with Crail! I have photos of us sitting on the beach, eating crab rolls and soaking up the sunshine.<BR/>What a shame you didn't mention the kits!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18093443871303667033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-48341992645176037352007-08-11T21:29:00.000+01:002007-08-11T21:29:00.000+01:00Your garden looks so lush & green & healthy to me ...Your garden looks so lush & green & healthy to me too!
