Well the hubby has a few days off and so we are getting stuck into the garden. to be honest yesterday it was Hubby doing all the work and me thinking and planning how I would like it to look. stopping to watch my guilty pleasure of New York housewives. I know the programe is full of grown women acting like mean girls, caring about things rather than people too much. but I am drawn to watch it. I like seeing their houses, love checking out the style and how they do their parties. So although there's a lot not to like about it...the truth is I love watching it.

Anyways back to the garden. while watching the New York housewives they showed one of their gardens in a town house in New York. It was inspired so the housewife said on an English come french garden (whatever that is) anyways it gave me inspiration of the way forward so no longer feel so guilty that Hubby was now doing all the work and realize that my role of visionary is vital to the project. so with that in mind spent further time researching via pininterest on garden inspirations. Then helpfully relayed all my thoughts to hubby who didn't seem that interested and kept mumbling to himself about there being a park down the road at my suggestion of a lovely natural wood childrens swing set.

So today am thinking maybe taking more of an active role and persuading as I go. although already hearing mutters of 'well if you want it to be over cluttered', knowing my real dislike is for things to be over cluttered!!!. Might have to spend some more time researching the way forward in creating the best possible use of this outdoor space.
