Thanks for your lovely comments on my l...Hi Andrea!<br />Thanks for your lovely comments on my last few posts!<br />Yes, large gardens are a mixed blessing I think - ours here is only small, but bigger than our last one and just about big enough to contain a greenhouse (never had one before and was dying for one!)a veg patch, compost area, bonfire area, various sheds, a terrace, fishpond and lawn. I am really hoping to squeeze in chickens but not sure theres room! <br />But as its small its all manageable.<br />Would have loved a larger garden but as you say you then start to get mainentance problems and you can spend all your time battling with boring perennial weeds etc rather than the more enjoyable aspects.<br />We have a holiday home with a large garden and all we ever do is cut the grass which takes forever, then cut back shrubs and brambles and its enough to make you HATE gardening as its all hard work and chores!We never have the time for the nice stuff there.<br />So I do sympathise, and I hope you can get beyond the weeds maintanace and enjoy your garden again.<br />Gill xgillyflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410673843788487544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5935303246871304742.post-40908860805363941732011-04-16T17:10:24.196+01:002011-04-16T17:10:24.196+01:00breathtaking!breathtaking!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581356102620092474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5935303246871304742.post-1535170976583118232011-04-16T16:32:58.004+01:002011-04-16T16:32:58.004+01:00I have just discovered your blog!

I went on a school holiday to Staithes when I was 12 and fell in love with the place. Not sure what it was about Staithes but it certainly got in to my heart and has been there since. Unfortunately I haven't been back. We stayed in a hostel on top of the cliff, overlooking the village. The ladies of Staithes used to make and probably wore a particular type of bonnet. I remember wanting to buy one but not having quite enough money. Anyway, we had a lovely time.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your photos and bringing back some wonderful memories.<br /><br />Have a lovely day.<br /><br />Lesley<br />xMe and Tilly Toohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135600353840146347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5935303246871304742.post-72603770401361947302011-04-13T23:41:38.279+01:002011-04-13T23:41:38.279+01:00And there goes little man with his backpack :)
