As well documented, MOTH's been trapped inside the house every weekend for the past 18 mths 'attending' to bathroom matters. This has meant that our jungle garden has been incredibly neglected, so he's been given permission to work outside on weekends for the next couple of months while the weather is warm. 'Inside can wait' I told him (I actually still can't believe I said that!).
He took me at my word & last Sunday attacked a huge area in the front yard, ripping out a whole heap of old woody trees & self-sown rubbish. It's already looking much better, so we can start to put into action what we have planned for that space. I do love the work of Holt Jordan & Joan Honeyman @ Jordan Honeyman in Washington DC. They have done wonders with this property in historic Delaware, especially the use of an old relocated train depot in the above 2 images as a garden guest house.
And I reckon this reworking of a rather neglected outdoor terrace space by Donald Lococo is fabulous.
Yum!Thanks to everyone for their very insightful comments on yesterday's post. It was really interesting to hear how you would deal with the same issue - & of course, the Queen of Dodgy Customers, Miss Renee Finberg put it all in perspective, as only she can. 'They are feral children and are only doing the best they can.' - can't top that!!! It's the weekend - go enjoy!
