Building a new life

[Jaquaia]

It's moving from the back of the garden to the side. The side garden is just wasted space so it will make use of that, we're planning on building a flower bed next to it for A too, and we'll regain a fair bit of space in the main part of the garden.

That sounds fab!

Your garden sounds nice....don't forget to leave a bit 'wild' for the flutterbies and bugs!

[Jaquaia]

So far I have lavender, aster, dianthus, chrysanthemum, geranium, foxglove and sunflowers. My intention is to have wildflowers growing in the front garden next year.

[Suzi]

Sounds like you've got it well under control! Is J enjoying seeing how happy and comfortable you are there making it a home for all of you as a family?

[Jaquaia]

I think so. He's said a few times that it's never felt like it does now, that before it was just a house but I've made it a home.

[Suzi]

Awww!

The downstairs toilet is going to be a gorgeous green colour, though you'd think after knowing magie for so long I'd be able to pronounce Galway . That will be getting done in the next few weeks since A decided to pull a big strip of paper off the wall as a corner was loose! So I stripped some of the top paper yesterday and started painting the fence where A's playhouse is getting moved to. It's rained today so I've got a coat of paint on the walls in the summerhouse, that's going to be jade white, which is a very, very pale greeny-blue. We're reclaiming everything and making it our own.

You never stop! Do you enjoy doing the diy?
