Stephen's happy place

I came home from work one day, it was just gone 11pm to find my other half still pottering around in the garden! Madness right? I work out to unwind, gosh how I miss running! and Steve he gardens.  Our current garden is more manageable and has more sun, which is amazing for me, since I adore the sun and the warms but not so great for his pale Welsh complexion. We have some sun screen stashed in the shed!:) From the garden to the stove... In his awesome garden hat:) He works tirelessly on his garden, yeah, it's his garden.... We have flowers, some grown from bulbs, "shake'n'rake" boxes and some ready bought. I couldn't really help out  much since every time I crouch down to dig or plant I would be tilting forward since my belly is so big now. We also have a veg patch...  I never grew anything before neither did he, so it is more and more impressive that we have tons of veggies sprouting. He even put up a cold frame, green...

Our beautiful garden

It has been a really long time since we had a garden.  When we were looking for a place here in Birmingham one of major requirement we had was to have a garden. These Marigolds are huge now! It is actually super fun to plant stuff and watch it grow... would be better if Daisy did not like to eat the plants and neighbors cat didn't like to do its dirty business between geraniums! But it is beautiful!  I find it rather peaceful to weed it.... and enjoy watching tomato plants growing tomatoes, aubergines getting into the bloom and munching the strawberries off the plant.  Two problems, noisy neighbors and not enough sunshine. The last I guess the whole of UK problem. There are a lot of flowers on aubergines, I guess we will be eating a lot of them soon!

we are settling in

We moved to Birmingham.. its was a long day. Yeah at some point I was entertaining the pets:)   Very special thank you to Viera, who was amazing and come to give us a hand in moving.  As us girls went for a drinkie to the pub my amazing husband was left home to deal with all that madness of furniture, boxes and bags... We only moved on Thusrday but already almost finished bedroom, mancave, living room and kitchen. Although we had to rebuilt some things twice and Stephen shouted at me... He was so annoying that he made me laughed uncontrollebly. I was like in halves on the floor giggling away. Oh btw how do you like this wall paper, it actually glitters too and has soft bits. Seem to be expensive but still looks a bit like brothel wallpaper. It grows on me ... slowly! Today we went for a wonder around... sat in the sun for a bit in Warley Wood And then we played with our garden. I actually learn to plant stuff. Steph...
