Green Green Grass of Home! (apologies to Tom Jones)....!

This is the view of my front garden this morning, and a very welcome one at that! The carrot and red diamond shapes on the grass are all that remains of the snowman that my daughters made......aaww! The white spots are raindrops on the camera not falling snow thank god!
We have just got our water supply back so the shower will be going non stop today and its raining heavily at the moment with high winds too but this girl aint complaining!
Devastion!

This is what i woke up to today, my "arbour" after being blown down during a rough stormy night! The clematis montana that has flowered profusely for the past few years down on the ground and the "roof" of the arbour laying on top of it. At least the sun face that i brought home from Provence in 07 survived the crash amazing as its pottery! Another "to do" job to go on the list for spring !

  1. I think we had some very strong gusts which the met office did not realise as some of the felt blew off the roof of my shed too.

  2. Hopefully the winds will die down but at least we can get out and about although some places are bad with fallen trees and debris so caution is still needed!

  3. Cash Making Opportunities - The Beginning The working life is already tough enough, but the worries of being out of work was even tougher.

I listed down a number of Free Internet Business Opportunity Ideas while researching ways how people earn money online while working-from-home.......

  6. So you have Montana Clematis? Glad to hear it flowers profusely for you. I just ordered one this month! I have been dealing with a bit of storm damage too..lots of sticks and garden ornaments blown around (that I should have stored) oh well.

  7. Hi Jennifer,
    Thanks for stopping by! I think i heard or read somewhere that clematis montana cannot be killed off once planted, hence my "success", i have cut it down to within a foot or two and will report on its progress or otherwise during the early summer!
