Going back…. by happypat

Going back….

I took a trip back to our old home this morning to check up on a tree we had planted! I met Gemma on the lane & she said go in & have a look round.
I was impressed with what they had done outside.
All this area was just parking space but they have landscaped it beautifully…..I think it looks lovely….Harry was noncommittal !! 🤣
He liked it when he had his raised vegetable beds there!

Three good things:
1. I bought a tree our son in NZ is planting a few of, he was full of praise for them but I got it home & we decided it grew too tall for our garden. I took it straight back & got a refund!
A Liquid Amber or sweet gum tree.
2. Some lovely flowers a friend was given when moving into her house….she ran out of vases so I got a bunch!
3. Snooker on TV all night but nothing else on much so quite happy to read my book & do other things!
It’s nice to see your old place is as well cared for as when you resided there.
I can thoroughly recommend the movie Downton Abbey and we both enjoyed it!

@dide Someone I knew went to see it yesterday but haven’t heard how it went. We saw the trailer & it looked good!

Everything does look neat and tidy. It’s hard to go back.

So difficult to go back to see all the changes , but nice to see all being so well cared for with new ideas !

How lovely to see your old place, with all the changes. Difficult too, I imagine, though! Dad loves the snooker on tv these days, so I'm always happy when it's on, as it gives him something that interests him!

@jamibann Men love snooker! I don’t mind it myself but like to do something else at the same time! Your dad will remember the old days when Dennis Taylor beat Steve Davies I think it was! Upside down glasses & it went on until the early hours, the whole country was watching! Showing my age here! 🤣

Your old house is looking so neat. It must be strange seeing it again. Good to know the new owners are looking after it though.

A lot of grass planting has gone on here. Nice and neat pathways! John's nearly always non committal - it means good, I have realised.

You are courageous to go back

Always bittersweet returning and finding all that has changed. Beautiful shot.

I think they did a very nice job in landscaping the area like this. Looks like your ex-house is being very lovely taken care of.

I recognise the seating area from your photos Pat
