Be gone you horrible virus that has made so many fellow bloggers unwell !
This is just the guy to frighten off most things, he hangs about under my pergola!
He watches over my garden and I have asked him to scare of this bug that keeps re-appearing in everyone lately.
I thought that you may like a little tour of my garden which is just starting it's Spring Season. I love a little peek at your garden photos, I find them so inspiring.
I have been so tired of being shut in feeling a little grotty most of the time.
Getting out and in my garden really did work wonders!
A trip to the garden centre always cheers me enormously. I could buy so much more but are fast running out of space.
Although some of my beds look empty, there is much lurking under ground and waiting to pop out soon - that is the bit I love the new fresh green shoots.
This view is from the very back of my pond looking towards the house.....Nigella is in the background and has her own little spot in the garden. The pond does look very boring this time of year as most of the plants have been cut back.
The waterfall looks so much better when the Baby Tears are full of new growth and form wonderful lush little cushions on the rocks around the pond.

I tidied the boarders and gave them a trim.....
I felt so much better for a breath of fresh air and all the bending actually made me loosen up!
I have lots of Hostas hidden in this bed.
Shrubs and evergreens but not an awful lot of flower yet.
My precious pot of Moss is always beautiful and squashy to touch.
The stems of a yellow Acer with Forest Flame behind.The long thin leaves are yellow Day Lillies.
My Olive Tree and the lovely orange smelling Choisya.If I have made any spelling mistakes I am sorry !
Two new plants for the garden Thyme and emmmm ?
Another new plant a mound of White Saxifrage which may be put in a little gap between slabs on the new patio.
These fresh new leaves are so beautiful they are Lupins, I chose white and lemon. I have become very fond of white, lime and lemon in my garden colour theme.
My new collection await their new home.
Beautiful Hellebore...a winter rose.
Tiny bright daffodils in clusters. I always forget where my bulbs are planted and often find them sleeping as I try and plant something in their little spot!
And the new patio is now started....at last.
Hellebore's again.....A dark variety called Niger.
A small fence around the garden to keep dogs off my plants! and grandchildren away from the pond! 
This photo is from last summer and is the small pergola.
Hub gets stuck in....
And the new patio is now started....at last. This will be a nice place to sit in the afternoon sun by the pond.
I have an Indian Bean tree here with big lemon coloured leaves and long white flower which form pods and a variegated maple, oh and a Gleditsia and a Golden Maple and a Maidenhair Tree.
This is a sunny spot and has dappled shade fro the trees which I clip to keep them under control.

A small fence around the garden to keep dogs off my plants! and grandchildren away from the pond! I have divided the garden into different area's.
I have two pergolas one is small and can be seen in the background of this photo and the other is a very large one that has Grape Ivy, a Grape vine, Wisteria, Clematis Montana and an evergreen Jasmin growing over it.

Hub gets stuck in....I love to watch him working happily!
with a lot of help from me of course!!! I love a little mud on my hands too!
This patio will have little quirky inserts of green coloured bottle bottoms, pebbles, terracotta tiles on their ends and maybe even some shells............
An old pot with a plant that grows like a weed, I cannot remember it's name but the foliage is so delicate it is a must for any spot that finds it hard to grow anything.
Now this is a Geranium - a huge one that survives the winter! Its leaves are the most attractive part of it I think.
