I watered and got everything growing and then left it alone to the sun and rain for the next 4 years or so...it came fully to life of fits own accord with not much intervention from me. The birds loved it and so did the children who visited. They would play for hours with a ll the clay teapots and bowls and the hose!<br /><br />I was far too gung ho painting at the time to labour long with the plants. Instead it was the view I like to sit and ponder that refreshed me between work sessions.<br />Thanks for the warm comments.<br />SSophie Munnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797068983613314554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778349612469580118.post-31743377016509141862009-11-08T13:29:51.751+10:002009-11-08T13:29:51.751+10:00stunning! what a lush garden you had! i'm sur...stunning! what a lush garden you had! i'm sure you will, over time, make and even better place for yourself!emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635860972948661626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778349612469580118.post-65485872123493032632009-11-03T17:49:27.213+10:002009-11-03T17:49:27.213+10:00Hi Karen at Dragon fly!

I am amazed at how few photos I used to take of where I have lived really given my deep attachment to place and home. Since I moved here I have had time to set myself up with a lovely computer, decent small camera, and learning all the tech skills I'd not previously had. This has been a lot of fun and I want to go back and find photos of different places and try and make something out of the random collection.<br />Curiously I never felt drawn to computers in the past and kept lots of journals, did most things by hand writing and recording them...I was more likely to take a journal on a holiday than a camera.<br />Janis, i did paint those walls...I managed to get around about 3 and a bit walls and everyone agreed it seemed fine to leave it a little but incomplete...it strangely worked...sorry no photo!<br />Thanks to you both for sweet messages!<br />SSophie Munnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797068983613314554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778349612469580118.post-54998129152084785992009-11-03T17:08:34.334+10:002009-11-03T17:08:34.334+10:00What a beautiful place to live and work :-)What a beautiful place to live and work :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509097281841299359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778349612469580118.post-79962347633011224092009-11-03T14:01:00.463+10:002009-11-03T14:01:00.463+10:00Oh Sophie, you make such a cozy home and I bet you...Oh Sophie, you make such a cozy home and I bet your new place is just as nice because of your imaginative touch. The walls in the 3rd and 4th photos, did you paint those too? That is fabulous and I want walls like that!!!<br /><br />p.s. Neruda is one of my favorites. How wonderful to have a poem of his written up to see like that... I must look up this poem now :)Janishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13561772857286838969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778349612469580118.post-13113828814780609982009-11-03T11:48:43.872+10:002009-11-03T11:48:43.872+10:00I am very sure that as the weeks and months come t...I am very sure that as the weeks and months come to pass, your new home will have similar charm as you settle in and have it reflect your individuality.<br /><br />The same will happen in the garden, though here things will take longer, especially as you watch the seasons change, noting the subtleties and planning accordingly.<br /><br />I truly enjoyed my visit to your previous home and feel our distance has significantly diminished.<br /><br />All the best,<br />EgmontThe Artist Within Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081658641380811738noreply@blogger.com
