..of the back garden.  I'm thrilled that this photograph of the garden won photographer Andrea Jones 2nd place in the Garden Views section of the International Garden Photographer of the Year Award and appeared in this gorgeous book  The view was always fabulous but the garden when we bought the house did not inspire ...   I thought I would consider how it evolved as I start to redesign it...

Yes Lucille and in the house the sink faced a blank wall instead of that view!

Such an incredible change and what strikes me most is how the hedge embraces the loch.

Such a thrill to have your garden included in a book and especially when it is your creation. It will be very interesting to hear how it progressed from a neglected plot to your loved garden.

Andrea's visit led to it being in other publications too - great fun! Fame at last!

I prefer designing a garden to maintaining one and yes, it's easier from scratch, for me anyway.

The photograph captured a certain mood in the garden with that glorious lighting. Interesting to note how many different moods your garden has when considering the different photos you have shown over the years. The early photo of the property before you began all your work really demonstrates your remarkable efforts in bringing it to its full potential.

I have loved phtographing it in all it's moods Mary. That shaft of light striking the red gate is just perfect isn't it! Andrea is a very patient photgrapher and waited hours for that.
