Through the Garden Gate ... May 2015


Most of you that know about my passion for photography (and holidays!), however, I probably spend more time throughout the year tending my garden, perhaps an hour or two most days. Thirty one years ago we moved into a house with a large derelict garden, in fact it was one of the main reasons we bought the house ... a step up from a rented back to back in Headingley.

The garden is quite narrow but long and separated from the house by an access road. We've divided it up into different areas and levels over the years. Everything except two old fruit trees at the end of the garden has been planted since we moved in including the shrubs, trees, ivy and veggies!

Here are a few photos starting at the garden gate and leading through the 'hidden' garden. All photos taken May 2015.



View from the potting shed, a relatively recent addition to the garden. Great for sitting in on inclement days and filling with natural 'stuff' from our travels.







 We have a good range of birds in the garden, this is a good place to watch them from all year round. It's also a good place to be dry and warm throughout the year when necessary!
