Well the snow has gone now and everything look grey and sad.

Mr D went on a long walk with Percy and when they come home Percy was given a bath!
Poor thing hates them but he looks lovely now all soft and smells wonderful too. We spent the evening in front of fire looking at old mags and thinking of things to do to the cottage.I always keep my country living mags I just love to look at them.

I am hoping to give the garden a good revamp next year.It has all gone a bit wild so need to be cut back and tidied up.The funny thing about the open gardens is that people that know me think the garden is so me. A bit wild and out of control? I think I will go for a tidy and well cared for garden next year that will have them.

Well at 47 to be 48 next year one as to think about these things.

I will so never have a well kept garden as life is so busy and that is the way I like it.

Hope to go to Chelsea next year, have not been for a couple of years.

Also hoping to plant lots more roses and have a couple of raised beds.

Funny thinking about the garden, when it looks so grey out there.

Next year is going to be spending as much time with James as possible because he is off to uni in October

How did he get to be that old so quickly.

Well must go and look like I am doing some house work Mr D is around

Take care love Lesley.x.
