When Alicia suggested dividing the plot into rooms that's exactly what she meant, so I'm posting some more pictures of th
e rooms because I think they are really great. This first one is immediately outside our kitchen window. We thought the statue of the black cat might put the birds off but in fact it has the oppsite effect. They even sit on its head and do nasty things to it. Mind you Daisy, one of our own cats, views it with considerable suspicion.
You'll notice another 'room' beyond this with a copse of trees and shrubs. These surround and effectively obscure one of the most interesting features in our garden..... the septic tank!!

What we call our 'Circular Room' and in many ways Alicia's favourite. The red bed in the centre is currently filled with red crocosmia and in summer really hits you between the eyes.
This is the main lawn area to the rear of the house. Alicia is the one with green fingers who plans and looks after all the borders. Me? ....... I cut the grass and sweep up the leaves!!
Another view of the lawn just to prove that my area of expertise is just as important as the flower beds! With all the rain we've had this summer the lawns are pretty waterlogged but dry out quickly is we get a couple of dry days..... thank god!!
