What we've been doing in the garden this weekend

This weekend we have been hard at work in the garden re-vamping the pond area which had got very overgrown and untidy. I have posted several pics of the work as it progressed and it's amazing to think we did all of this in one day - I would add that besides me and hubby, we had help from my parents and a man with a digger! When it's completely finished there will be a lovely herbacious border, a gravel garden and two new seating areas. Big thanks to my mum who designed the plans for the work and bought me some lovely plants to start off with :)

There are of course loads more pics but I didn't was to bore you with them all, lol.

Autumn Colours

The autumn colours in my garden are just so beautiful at the moment that I had to get my camera out and take some pictures to share with you. These berries are such a vibrant orange they just seem to glow.

I wish I could reproduce this colouring on cards, its just wonderful.

I love the pattern of these leaves on the ground with the green of the grass showing through.

On another theme, I went out on Saturday (buying crafty stuff of course! need you ask - lol) and when I cam home there was a box waiting by the back door containing the most beautiful huge bunch of fresia's from everyone I used to work with - it was a lovely surprise and they smell absolutely gorgeous. If anyone from work is reading this - thanks guys, what a lovely thought.
