A little about myself......

Hi all, I feel privileged to be on this forum, as you all seem lovely and helpful as well, it’s the first forum I’ve ever been on so please bear with me on how things work etc... it’s a learning process!!

I love collecting and learning about things especially the beautiful and eye catching. I have all sorts of collections, I have books, paperweights, jewellery, marbles, art, compacts, pottery etc..... unfortunately I have not an awful lot of spare time !! however I’m currently trying to make more space in my life for enjoying life’s treasures.
I am a gardener by trade and I have been such for over 20 years I have attached some pics of my work (before and after)
It’s nice to know there’s some other people out there with similar interests and I hope to get to know you all better, once I work out how the website/forum works properly that is
Jacqui xx

 

WELCOME Jacqui !!! ... Joy.

 

Lovely work, Jacqui!

 

Wow I love that!! When I lived in East Sussex it was something I did for a few customers that was to make natural ponds as the ground was all clay, I have not seen much clay since I’ve been in Sheffield but have to say it makes life much more pleasant for planting etc up here!! I unfortunately can not advise on herons apart from the obvious deterrents which I’m sure he knows about

 

Thankyou

 

Smiling... Thankyou x

 

One of my sisters has been a landscape designer and installer for over 30 years. A great deal of work, but when it comes together the result is wonderful!!

 

Beautiful work!!

 

welcome and wonderful work.

 

That’s hilarious maybe he should buy a cat fish, they have been known to eat pigeons..... mind you that may mean they eat the dogs..... the only answer would be to install a ceiling which would be an interesting task x

 

Jacqui, your work is LOVELY! I am suitably impressed!

 

Welcome!

 

When I was a child, there was an abandoned orchard near where we lived. Every spring, one particular patch of that orchard would turn into a pond, about 30' across and maybe 3' deep. Snow melt, I guess. That pond was always full of frogs, frogs' eggs, tadpoles, the whole big deal, but by late spring it would have dried up completely. By summer, if you didn't know the site, you wouldn't have guessed that there could have been a pond, but it came back year after year. And always, the frogs. I often wondered where those frogs came from, and where they went to.

 

frogs....in general....bury in the mud....and their body slows down...to be reanimated when the rains come again..

 

Welcome, @Jacqui ! Thanks for the photos of your work. They are beautiful!
