Paddy's Garden, a quick walk around

[Paddy Tobin]

Glad you liked the stroll, Lesley.

Today, all is changed. The frost, ice and snow is gone and has been replaced by gale-force winds and torrential rain so that the garden is awash and our road is flooded. This means being confined to the house, extra cooking and baking and increasing waist measurements.

The one not you is the one without the beer ?

Just found this thread, new glasses needed! I love the rockery behind the garage, I can imagine sitting in there in the summer with a cool drink! Great stuff Paddy, thanks for the continuing tour.

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Well done Paddy !
It was nice to see your great garden in these wintery conditions ! 
Less nice to hear that you have returned to more normal (wet) conditions now .. 
Enjoy more red cabbage and I'd join  Hristo for that cool drink anytime...

Paddy, your garden is fantastic! My husband and I brouse true the topic. He send you his appreciative congratualtions. The best your hens and ducks :-)

[Paddy Tobin]

Many thanks for your kind comments. I imagine you were looking for something to pass the time today as this is a very old thread now.

Happy Christmas. Paddy

Great idea to go for a walk in the garden of a friend at any time, I reckon..... nice for you to have visitors from so far away, Paddy - hope you had plenty cake?

[Paddy Tobin]

Ah, Maggi, you have revived yourself with some more of your pigs in blankets. Here, two sons are asleep; Mary is watching Miss Marple and I am at the laptop.

I had forgotten all about this thread and I went back over the photographs; nice to look again and to see our dog, now dead.

Hope you had a lovely Christmas.

By the way, Christmas breakfast here - a custom running for well over twenty years - is scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, toast and buck's fizz.

Paddy, I had no idea how restoring these pigs in blankets could be.... I feel much better... able  soon to eat some chocolate, I think.
I was certainly well enough to enjoy my walk around your garden.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your dog- he looked like a real character!
I'd missed the winter shots before- interesting to see-- your January garden looks more like an early snow in September here...lol..
What would buck's fizz be??

Maggi- I had a bit of Christmas (fruit etc; storebought) cake while waiting for breakfast (fried egg and french fries!! on a panini bun) followed by coffee and chocolates

[Paddy Tobin]

Cohan, Buck's Fizz is a mixture of orange juice and champagne and is quite delicious; a great start to the day.

Yes, our snow would only be a shadow of what you experience. Here, an inch of snow would bring the country to a standstill.
