Cottage garden

Oh yes I am going to miss this fabulous garden with all it's different corners to investigate. We have been blessed with glorious weather since we arrived on 20th March and we have seen this wonderful garden at it's Springtime best.
I just love this cottage and I can see why you do! So pretty and such a lovely garden.

I can see why you will miss it because it is so picturesque. I am sure you will be glad to return home though.

What a lovely place to endure lockdown. Did you choose to escape here or just get stuck here? Sorry but I must have missed the beginning of the story

@busylady We had a leaking water pipe under the concrete kitchen floor in January. All floors and walls downstairs affected and we had to put the furniture in storage and were told to vacate the house. I decided that as we couldn't find a house locally that would take two dogs I would book holiday cottage down here in Devon near my niece Ruth. We had so many plans for coffee mornings and lunches out!! We left home on 20th March and lockdown started 23rd March so we only just escaped. We spent 6 weeks in a fabulous cottage in Bucks Mills near Clovelly where Ruth lives but it was in a very steep valley and nowhere to walk with the dogs on the flat. We moved to this cottage in Higher Clovelly and we will be here for 6 weeks in total. This place is magical - cottage beautiful and garden four and half acres with woods and ponds. Sadly we haven't been able to go out with Ruth and her girls but I was able to do shopping for her and drop it off at the gate. Lots of air hugs and kisses. This cottage in about 10 minutes walk from Ruth's house and they sometimes walk over and we have a cup of tea in the garden keeping the proper distance!! It has been so good to be able to sit and talk to someone else and to see the girls playing in the garden with the dogs. No hugs or cuddles or kisses!! So sad!! We go home on the 11th June as they have started to fit new kitchen. really looking forward to going home but we will miss this beautiful safe little "bubble" down here. I hate to see the news and see what idiots some people are!! It's a scary place out there!! Lockdown is relaxing far too soon I think!!

You've been fortunate turning lemons into lemonade. I hope the work on your home meets your expectations and that you can look back on these months with some sense of joy or at least peace!

@taffy Thanks for that Taffy!! Yes we are going home to a complete transformation and it is going to be a surprise I know!! We have left our dear friends Amanda and Roy in charge and I know they will have done a marvellous job for us!! I know this time away could have been very stressful but we have been blessed having such good friends and also staying in such a magical place with fabulously generous hosts!!

Looks like you had found a wonderful spot to stay for the duration - Yes, you're going to miss this I imagine.

Good to read your report & update of your woes. Not long to go now then...glad you managed to stay near Ruth....I didn’t realise the two cottages were in the same area. Still lots if great times missed because if these strange times...you will be glad you got away in time! Beautiful weather & garden & your landlord will be glad of your custom in these non holiday times!
