My Sunday Photo...The Garden Awakes.

The Easter Holiday is renowned for being the biggest gardening weekend of the year, so I thought I'd show you a little of our garden.
There are lots of activities in other parts of the garden, work in progress as they say, but thankfully this is my little bit of sanctuary.
(It's a pity that the sun wasn't shining today...typical...but it did try)
As usual I'm going to link up with My Sunday Photo over at Photalife.com
I hope you are having a fabulous long weekend... I know I will once I find those chocolate eggs!
Happy Easter to those that celebrate this holiday and for anyone else I wish you a fantastic weekend.
Thanks for visiting my place and I hope to see you again soon.

  1. Your garden looks so neat and tame. I know it takes a lot of work and yours clearly is paying off - our garden needs more work, but I'm not a big gardener so an excuse is never far away!
    Have a wonderful Easter

    1. Thanks Tracey, but I'm a fair weather gardener...I get inspired when the sun is shining, but don't like to feel the chilly North East Scottish wind when it's blowing a hoolie.
      I hope you are having a lovely Easter weekend too

    1. Precisely, it seems that every time I go out into the garden there's a new arrival...giving a fantastic pop of colour.

    1. I chose this side view of the garden because it's the most organised one. The other side has a ruined barn and trees. On the other side of the house we're working on a new veg plot and chicken coup...so lots to do. Hopefully the weather will be favourable so that we can get main work done.

  4. Happy Easter to you as well! Marvellous garden image, although you must tell me how you keep it so tidy and well kept! #MySundayPhoto

    1. Well we do have a dog and a 24 year old that still insists on playing football out there...so I do find the odd 'accidental damage'!
      Enjoy your long weekend.

    1. Well hopefully the relaxing will come at some stage Darren, once everything has popped up and the weeding is under control.
      Now we've also started a veggie plot it seems that there's always something that needs sorting.

  11. You garden is so gorgeous - I don't know how much garden you have but I know you have been planting a new one. Do you and your husband take care of it all? I bet your home and land is out of this world wonderful!!

    1. This view is one part of the garden that has been worked on...on the other side is the old barn ruin and wall. Then there's the front garden with a raised lawn and trees along the driveway, and a rockery and lawn the other side of the driveway. The new Veggie plot is on the other side of the house and was just a waste land of wild weeds. That's coming along nicely now and we hope to have a few girls come to stay! That's chickens to you and me, but Chicken George (my hubby's new name) insisted they'll be his girls!
      It's quite a lot of work...hence not all the time to paint/draw as I would like because we do it all ourselves!
      I keep hinting that some help might be nice...but it does keep him busy which is good.
      I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

    1. Sit...in the garden? Oh now wouldn't that be nice Jennifer. I'll have to remember that! (haha)
      We've had a really cold snap last night and a freezing hoolie blowing for the last two days...but all is still and warming up now.
      I believe we might have a staggering 17 degrees on Thursday! That's not a typo...17 WHOLE DEGREES!!!
