You are right, Toni. Gardens are full of memories. I have a cats' graveyard at the bottom of my garden, marked with a stone slab. On top of it stands a staue of a cat playing a fiddle. It makes me smile, and reminds me of all the fun my long-departed furry friends gave me.

Hi Elizabeth

The sound of running water in a garden is very soothing, I think. We have a large pond with lots of fish, and a small fountain in the middle. It is very relaxing to sit beside, listening to the sound of the water and watching the fish swim around.

It's got to be 8 for me Joan, I would love a little cottage with a nice walled garden like the one on river cottage, no chance I guess, a 1950's semi in a Oxfordshire village is as far as I'm gonna get!

Hi Mell

A cottage with a walled garden would be idyllic, but there's nothing wrong with a semi in Oxfordshire :!:

I see you as a kitchen garden, but with definite wildflower tendencies :!: ( minus the carefree bit where work is concerned :shock: )

I do not agree with you. I'm not a stupid creature. I have had many many bad things happen to me very many.

If I wished to, I could remember the bad stuff all the time. If I thought of all the bad stuff I should imagine it leading to having a big chip on your shoulder.

I try to think of all the good things that have happend to me. Things that make me smile, laugh. cry with laughter.

Looking at a photo can make me think of all the happy times we had and the fun we had.

Having a flare, most of us do know what it is like. The only way I cope with it is to talk to people on here who understand. I try to think of it as another day has passed and it is another step to getting better.

Hi All

Joan I have a fat cat stone for Eric on the new decking I had last year which was FOR him but he never saw completed.

I totally get your graveyard sad but nice memories

Mell I too loved walled gardens

But your village is beautiful

Very Midsomer :shock:

Oh right there with you Cham! Mind I think i know now I will not leave mine... I often wondered which one would hold me.... a sheep and a spaniel and well we shall see.....xx

Hi Joan,

I have thought a bit about this.....

I would be a big walled garden, some formal, some wild and some cottage. Tress at one end and the wild bits with then, giving way to a veg plot and then a hedge between the formal and it.... I think I would also have a maze........ Will that do even though its not what you gave as choices? ((( ))) cus everyone needs one here and there. Cris xx

Trisher, I think you ignored the exclamation mark (which was intended as a hint towards light relief). I also note you used the word 'try' in your answer to my post. One doesn't have to try to remember good things: the bad is more easily recalled, that's all I meant. I suspect that you and I are never destined to agree on much - but I do treasure the red roses that you sent me: that is one PM which will not, and cannot (for various reasons) be deleted. DD

Hi Cris

Your garden sounds very interesting and lovely, just like you :!: I like the idea of a maze- very inventive and original :!: It shows something about your problem- solving abilities and your willingness to persevere when faced with difficulties. ( getting a bit into psych-analysis now :!: :shock: )

(((( ))))) for you and all your employers, and a big purr from Tommy, who is snoozing as usual beside me :!: This is him :!:

I will write the way I want to write, I'm not at school.

If I left a question mark out do you not think that some of us have bad hands and find it hard to type with one finger.? Think of that before you reply.

The roses was sent because you wrote a dramtic apology pm, to me after your post.
that did upset some members on here. You were saying how nice it was for someone to receive them.

I sent them to say I accept your apology and there were no hard feelings.

We all have different ways of coping and that is my way. I stand by what I posted.

Ange I love how you describe your garden, I have a bald patch where my boys had thier swing and slide. I have a flaming forst that I planted with my eldest. I have lots of lovley memories in my garden and a lot of weeds :roll: which will get seen too this weekend.

Trish You are so right in what you say, you are an insperation to me. You are allways there for us all and have a brilliant sense of humar.

Oh trisher, I am so so sorry. I know exactly what you mean about the typing, as many of us have bad hands, but I really didn't mean to imply anything about you. My general point is that the bad is often more readily recalled than the good, but I didn't put it at all well. I apologise. DD
