Watermouth Castle

This wasn't just any old castle...

Inside we discovered an amazing collection of mechanical fun!

Every garden should have a gnome, this place was home to Gnomeland!

Gnold is Gnome currency don't y'know...

Water load of fun!

Now dry your hands...

Ahhh you guys!

The Great Julius Snailius

I so want one of these in my garden!! Do you think the bears would miss it?


Until next time,

Sweet Vacation

Just returned from a relaxing week's holiday with the family. Here's a sneak peak of the adventures we got up to. Can you guess the places we visited?
  
Our lovely Beachside digs for the week
  
 
EWE'll be amazed at the fun to be had here!

 
Have you seen Bo Peep's bush?

  
We travelled far from Gnome

Garden Update

Before (or should I say "during")

After, ta da!

Then a BBQ to celebrate

Long time, no post!

Well it sure has been a time since I last blogged. Oops! So here's what I've been up to lately...
Had a lovely family day out at Easter weekend. We loaded up the car and headed to Crosby Beach where Anthony Gormley's Another Place is. Luckily the weather was gorgeous, with a cooling sea breeze that was much needed!

Crosby Beach

As with every bank holiday (and every weekend for the past month) we did a bit of gardening. Ok, a LOT of gardening. Our garden is now looking more organised, with Primulas & Violets merrily sunning themselves in our new bedder. My last post showed the beginnings of "The Great Patio Laying". All I can say is never again! I just couldn't believe the mess and number of trips hubby had to make to the tip.

Clutter just migrated across the garden
Dig dig dig!

 It was a labour of love but our hard work paid off. We now have a super new chilling area. Yay!

Ta da!

I celebrated by buying many flowers. Muhahaha, my pretties! The daffodils were in full bloom too, I just loved the colour all the plants brought to the garden. 


The new patio also spurred on the veggie and fruit planting. Granted this excitement led to various containers of all shapes and sizes surrounding the newly expanded patio, bursting with colourful flowers and lush green leaves. Whoops-a-daisy the garden was cluttered again!

New home for tasty carrots

Not to worry though, a solution was in the making...

More in the next post,
