Thanks for your comments GJ, you'll have to call over for a coffee in the Tea House. Confused

Best wait 'till Spring - everywhere is a bit of a soggy mess at the moment, not to mention looking like a building site!

I would have responded last night but the Kindle was on the blink again and after Dave installed and ran CC cleaner I've now lost NHK TV, aggh!

I'm putting everything on hold today until I get this Illustration drawn-up, it's taking longer than it should.

I may just take you up on that offer...just make sure the Coffee is in a Mug...I've no time for these " Mrs Bouquet hand painted Perry Winkle Little Finger in the Air China Cups" Ccchhheeessee, that was some Mouthful...in short a Builders Mug...

Just to hear the sound of running Water and take in the Aroma of nearby Plants is all I need to lose myself into my own private World...I had a Water feature in Dublin in my back Garden and to sit on the Double Swing with the Dog, his head on my Lap and watch the Birds take turns to stand under the Waterfall and have a Shower...it was priceless...I once had a Robin land on my hand and take a Worm off it , after that whenever I was using the Wheelbarrow he would perch on the Handle and wait for the Worm...made me feel as close to Nature as I'll ever get...

They say as you get older the trivial things you normally took for granted begin to take on a whole new meaning........bring em' on...I'm lovin' it...

We don't do - " Mrs Bouquet hand painted Perry Winkle Little Finger in the Air China Cups"! Very Happy

Dave says if you want he will break the handle off a mug and you can feel right at home (but then he's a peasant!)

With the cold and rain and a million and one things to do I have only been going down to the pond to check on the fish. But one day last week I stopped rushing for a while - the sun was sparkling on the running water, the birds were tweeting and it was lovely. I remembered why we made this garden.

I love Japanese gardens, I have always wanted a stream and I wanted a bigger pond for my Koi. Well we ticked all the boxes - and then some.

This is where I differ to you. I love bone china cups and saucers especially with afternoon tea. I always drink out the same but mine have big handles on them so I can put my finger through it. Hate drinking out of mugs. And I think the latest trend of drinking out of jam jars is dreadful.

AND I HAVE A TEAPOT ALL THE TIME, NO TEABAG IN A CUP FOR ME

But you call yourself teabag don't you?
