Son has a beatles corner in his garden! Penny Lane and McCartney rose, some lily that was George Harrison's favourite flower, do not know about Ringo! Compassion is a lovely rose.

Compassion is a beautiful rose, Rose and I have one called Penny Lane which is nice too, a reminder of the Liverpool meet eh?

Ah no Merlin no patio and not much rubbish I don't think. It's quite small ( in comparison to what I've had before) but that's good really, much less grass to mow :)

I will have to find a nice rose for it, wishing now I had the one I had in Wales, lovely scent of tea and oranges...but very prone to blackspot lol.

Sorry you lost your Unicorn Rose,Having moved many times its a bit sickening when you pack things well and they get damaged in transit. Hope you enjoy doing your new garden,I,m still at it with mine but it takes time and it will be OK next year.( Hopefully yours is not the same as mine was,"A Bog full of rubbish, they,d even grassed over a large Patio.Not funny when trying to dig holes for roses. Enjoy .**M**.

you have moved again, good luck in your new home,

aw your poor unicorn, like others have said only material things hun, you have your memories xxxx

Lots of luck Rose as you settle in to your 'new' home and sort out the garden. I can send you seeds if you want, will write a list of what we have around and let you know later on. Pity you are so far, have loads of spare ornamental grasses and other things too but too big and expensive to post.

It's sad about the unicorn, maybe one day you will spot another one that will at least remind you of the one you lost.

Take care and don't overdo things

Night Rose ( us Hobbits like Nasturtiums ) lol x

I will be watching closely when spring comes Amanda lol, there are some nice nasturtiums that have come over from next door not had any for a long while and they are very cheery on a dull November day :)

night night all :)

It sounds as if you have the makings of a cottage garden there Rose , I bet there are allsorts lurking in them there boarders ....lol

The marigolds lasted well this year Amanda, there are a few things in the garden here already , a very pretty small fuchsia by the back door, a conifer, raspberries, and a few 'wild flowers' which I shall keep, a weigelia and a bergenia...ooh and a little flowering cherry I think it is in the corner :)

Thankyou Trish and Sue, I was a bit choked, because it carried memories of a happy time and because it was very pretty, not seen one the same anywhere since.

Every time I set eyes on the Marigolds in my front garden you pop into my mind Rose ....lol....one of them is still happily flowering away in this grim weather ! I hope they grow as abundantly in you new garden .

What a shame Rose. I know they're only 'things' but I know they represent so much at times.

Oh Rose,I am so sorry,
hope your not too upset.

Trish

Thankyou both :))

One thing I have to buy is a lilac, can't be without that in the garden !

I have a carrier bag of seeds from the garden in Wales, and some from the last house ( marigolds!) so at very least should have a bit of colour next year. :)

Me too, Rose - I wish you much happiness. I lost a few things when I moved, one way or another, but contentment, family and a garden are the important things for me. Hang on to that meat plate - I'm sure it will be used in the future!

Well Rose , I'd like to wish you and your lad many happy times in your new home : ))
How exciting to have a new garden to think about and plan during the winter months , lucky you : ) x

I have Amanda, lol I am not sure who was more stunned at me turning down the cash, me or the estate agent !

Time will tell if it was the right thing to do anyway. In the meantime the boxes are being unpacked and the garden thought about :) There was a jay feeding in next door's garden this morning, there is a play park behind the house with a fair number of trees, so I am looking forward to seeing which birds turn up when I have got the bird feeder up :)

A broken Unicorn : (( that is to sad for words . I had a lovely one once and sadly it went the same way .

So Rose , I guess you decided to stay put for the time being then ?

Ann, I've still got the meat plate intact lol, not that it ever gets used now.
