All my life I have dreamed of having a victorian style glasshouse and having the space for one was a big factor in moving here. The process towards its realisation continues to be wearisome (planning permission…), expensive (landscaping/ground works) and complicated (big old wall/structural engineer/archaelogist(!) – not to mention finding not one, but two old wells when clearing the ground…

But the new little retaining wall in the top garden is underway, reclaimed york paving ordered…

…and the opening in the brick wall where steps will go down to the lower garden has been made 🙂
