Hi Mary,
I'm just going to hang my coat on the gate here. Wonderful.
The first REAL spring-like days arrived here in Southern England this weekend.
If you found a little shelter from the breeze you could experience that warm, bright and comforting feeling that those first few promises of summer bring.
We have had so much rain this winter that last summer's drought seems a long way off. Will we get the same again? Who knows?
At the end of the summer I sourced waterbutts (water barrels) from ecofriendly sources and offered a fitting service.
Too many accidents happen to kids and animals through baddly fitted butts so I decided to do something about it. I soon discovered lots of barrels sitting in peoples gardens, half-full of water, waiting to be fitted to downpipes. A whole winters water wasted. Orders are coming in, so looks like a busy spring.
Mary, you said advertise here, so here goes.
I am a garden designer. I am based on the borders of Hampshire, Surrey and W.Sussex in Southern England.
I offer a full landscaping service too and will even maintain your garden after construction. My plant knowledge is my biggest asset.
The waterbutt supply and fitting is done by my other business IFSOR BUTTS.
If you live in London or south of there, I can transform your garden and your lifestyle. First contact should be made through e-mail

I look forward to seeing you.

Thanks again Mary,
