Friday Fun: Never Mind the House, I Want That Garden!
Everyone knows by now that I am not a gardener, but I do enjoy sitting and reading in an immaculate and large garden, watching the bees buzzing, listening to the birds singing, hoping for a glimpse of a hedgehog…
Not just for grown-ups, this garden shed with treehouse and climbing frame attached. From hid360.comWhy have a garden when you could have a whole fell to yourself, complete with sheep? From Pinterest and I presume Wales or Scotland.Little garden folly overlooking vineyards, from Lifewitoutlouboutins. tumblr.comSlightly more modern, with your own lake. From linatraikoudi.tumblr.comQuintessentially British, from The Telegraph.A slice of the Mediterranean, from Mediterraneanhomedecor.comIf you don’t mind a bit of climb, Alnwick Mansion and gardens will do just fine.
Whilst I do appreciate a pretty garden, I am the type of person who can kill a cactus. A place close to fells or mountains would suit my though – as long as I could bring the culture and coffee shops from London with me.
They’re all so beautiful, Marina Sofia! And they all look so peaceful and relaxing, too. I would definitely have to hire people to take care of such gorgeous property, because gardening is not one of my skills. But I do love that one from the Telegraph…
I won’t be greedy and go for the mansion – I just need a small corner of peace and tranquility (no sheep since I get enough of those in wales anyway). Does the gardener come as part of the package because otherwise I guarantee the plot will look a mess in a year left to my care
The little garden folly for me, though it’s hard to pick between them. I also love the fell. I love my little garden though I am a rubbish gardener and my garden’s nothing special at all.
I’d like them all frankly, both houses and gardens. I’m not great with the latter but then if I was rich enough to own any of these I could pay someone to look after them for me! 🤣🤣🤣
I’d love a garden, it’s my main incentive for leaving London. Of these, the fell will do me very nicely 🙂
I’m much better at appreciating a garden than actually getting my hands dirty, too. That lakeside house is particularly appealing.
Beautiful! I’m torn between Quintessentially British and the Mediterranean look. One for winter and the other for summer, perhaps?
Sounds eminently sensible to me!

Yes, that sounds about my level of gardening abilities. But a wildlife garden does appeal…

That first house and garden own my heart!
