Organic garden dreams I just wanted to say about the statues: We've spent years aquiring them. We are avid bargain hunters. Sometimes statuary places have a "bone yard" of stuff that has been damaged. Occassionally there will be something there for a great price that has a few cracks that don't bother us or a blemish that can be hidden or fixed. These places do have sales. Sometimes they're very happy to sell something in the winter for a cheaper price if you ask(my husband always asks) Our most important statue, Flora was rather exspensive but not terribly so. I waited for her as we saved the money and then also we found that if you order something and not take it off the lot they discount 20%.

Hi everyone, Just wanted to pop in and say thank you for your comments. I just love the way everyone is so supportive & kind here. What a fun place to come every day! I am glad you enjoyed the scenery. Those scenes are just a short trip away. Down my road there are plenty of mountain vistas that I see every day when I take my walk so I will have to take some pics to share when the leaves turn. It is quite spectacular in the fall. Zeus is quite adept at catching bugs with those big paws. He will jump up and clap his 'hands' together to catch moths in mid-air. He actually has seven toes but in pics you only see 6 because the 7th toe is so tiny. The bug stings are still itching and I tried everything suggested. I guess I will have to endure it a little longer. I almost hate the itching more than the stinging. DH sprayed inside the yellow jacket nest and used up 2 cans of spray just to kill them all. When he started spraying, hundreds started flying out so it was a BIG nest. Celeste

Wonderful pictures! I love English gardens though haven't visited in a few years. The perennial borders by GST are great. I've seen the ones at Mottisfont Abbey but have never been to Peckover House. The roses look lovely too.
