We have a new house which does meet almost all V's specification in that we can walk into town, there is a bus route near by and there are two bathrooms! There are some issues over roominess but otherwise its good. Our initial fears about the rather large and messy Scots Pine have now been overcome as it does act as a nice sound proofing barrier from the houses just across from us and it is also a home to several varieties of wild birds that I have managed to attract with a supply of feed suspended from its branches. As a bonus we have a nice green in front of the house and thus no parking of cars which here is a real nightmare!
Each house has at least a parking space and most have a space PLUS a garage yet despite this most people seem to be leaving their cars in front of their houses ...
I watched the garden people destroy our garden and then reconstruct it, although I confess we remained unconvinced that it would ever meet our expectations. But I have to say that looking at it now it has certainly come on a great deal. The grass is a lawn once more and I am compelled each week (or more ) to stagger about behind the flymo keeping it lush. All the flower beds are planted, there are pots of fragrant geraniums and a border of lavender plants that will flood the garden with perfume. All in all it's looking good.
So the garden went from "rough" to even rougher! and then to this!! A place to sit in, relax and even hide in a shed! ... Green tranquillity... so many scented plants and herbs make this our own Sensory garden.
OK, it's back to the weeding for me now and some contemplation about "The One Show" on BBC TV.... watch this space as I so often say!

All before my little room;
And in my flower-beds, I think,
Smile the carnation and the pink;
And down the borders, well I know,
The poppy and the pansy blow…………………
oh! yet
Stands the Church clock at ten to three ?
And is there honey still for tea ?
Yours MAD
