I just found these pics. They're beautiful examples of three different gardens. Lily's so ordered and tidy and neat, which I like, and Iced's gorgeous blue ceonothus growing all amongst the other shrubs, and Joe's typically English border all jumbled together and working so well.
 
Lovely!
 
For the first time in years I don't have my own garden, as we live in a second floor flat. However, we look right into the canopy of tree tops right outside the window and watch the birds and squirrels. Downstairs the ground floor flats have gardens and they are bursting with summer flowers right now, and we have a little drying garden to sit in.
 
I've got a collection of house plants on the landing outside the flat which has two walls of glass, much like a greenhouse, so my heat loving plants are doing really well.
 
I do miss my last little garden which I designed and planted. It had a little pond with a shingly beach and a tiny deck to sit and pond-stare, a summerhouse which I used as a studio, and a little patch of grass outside where  used to sleep in the sun.
 
Oh well. Things have changed, and I don't really have the strength now to do gardening anyway. I mooch around the parks three times a day with   and sit by the ponds and admire everything, feeling glad I don't have to cut grass or weed any more.
