Never read it - its too heavy. If it fell on my nose in bed, it would break it.

For those who've not read it but are LotR curious,  I would recommend the BBC Radio dramatisation from the 80s. Pretty true to the essence of the book, great cast and perfect as a background to those methodical jobs on the potting bench!

More photos of disappearing paths! The middle path, (Apple Avenue) under the apple trees has almost disappeared.

Nice looking woodland glade. Very calming I would imagine? Cool

Calming until a bramble/nettle/sticky willie leaps out and grabs you. Big Grin

Its a "Slow garden" - you can't walk round it fast or ever feel that you've tamed it. It doesn't matter how much weeding you do, turn a corner and there's more. Equally, turn a corner and there's a flower that you haven't spotted before or some fruit ready to pick and eat.
It would drive most people potty - that's why I like it. Big Grin
