OUR GARDENS.

Every where you go, every one's garden is very slightly different (good job really).The one below is right on the edge of the sand quay here in Teignmouth. It literally has dozens of old boots and shoes festooned all over the walls. I remember seing something similar on somebody else's blog, but for the life of me I can't think whose ?, (my bloody memory).
Below a picture of the garden outside a shop/cafe on Dartmoor, they very obviously love their Pixies, Gnomes and Elves.The fudge is yummy and for some then of course "there be zum zider".
I musn't forget the Mushrooms and Toadstools amongst the foliage.
Below a garden right on the river beach (Teign) here in Teignmouth, note the "Wellies" on the wall, these are filled with plants in summer.
Below my poor little winter (last week) garden, doesn't it look bare and unloved? at this time of year. Roll on the spring lets get the bulbs in bloom( since this photo we've actually filled the tubs/planters with spring flowering bulbs).
We will post a few photo's as the garden starts to come into bloom.
Whoops, nearly forgot.
Joke of the day.
A coach load of Foreign tourists were getting a tour of Runnymede.They gather round their guide who says,"This is the very place where the Barons forced King John to sign the Magna Carta". A man from among the tourists asks "When did that happen", "1215" replies the guide.The man says glacing at his watch "Gee we just missed it".
