Therapy of gardening

Spent a lovely day enjoying the incredible warmth, in contrast to the chilly rain of last Sunday.  I cut the grass & trimmed around the pond.  Still want to get some more plants for it, perhaps grasses would be good.  Need to be natural-looking.

In the afternoon went around gardens in Norwich, great for nosiness factor.  Lime Tree Road has some incredibly large houses & gardens.  I actually found those gardens sometimes lacking imagination - the beds weren't packed & there were large areas of grass.  Much more interesting were the gardens on Park Lane, York Street, Carnarvon Road and West Parade.  Some intriguing architecture as well.  I would love a conservatory, saw some beautiful ones today, both traditional and also a steel-framed garden room with a folding door.  Will have to think how to fit one in here.
