Fifteen years ago we had a dream. We discovered this place and decided that when we retired we would live here. For most of us dreams do not come true, but this one did. What appealed to us more than anything else were the fabulous gardens at this property. Fifteen years on, and we moved in earlier this year. We cannot take the credit for these beautiful grounds, as others including professionals maintain them, but ...
Is there anything better than a walk in the garden
the summer bedding so colourful
the woodland area beloved by us, various birds and squirrels
there is even a pond, the water-lilies will be flowering soon and the reeds give a nice display
an oasis of calm in an ever changing world
Yes, we are very fortunate.
Follow your dream ...
All the best
Jan and Eddie

You have a fabulous home and gardens. If only I had someone to help maintain my garden . . . .
OK, mine still wouldn't look this good, but it would look better than it does now!! You two are truly blessed.
Beautiful garden!!!

absolutely beautiful and to have waited for this all that time,, makes it even more beautiful.
BEAUTIFUL....I love it all. So nice. I love taking a walk to my flowerbeds and checking things out each morning. Dakota (my dog) and I do that together.
Heavenly, what a glorious place to live!
Boa tarde, desfrutar de uma lindo espaço como o belo jardim é um enorme privilegio, as belas fotos são como o algodão, não engana!.
Feliz fim de semana,

Beautiful garden walk. You do have a lovely place. I can't do a thing this past week in mine. The mosquitoes are out in full force day and night. Awful. More rain tonight and rest of the week end.
What an absolutely glorious area. Calm and beauty.
That is absolutely gorgeous.
A lovely area to have at hand!
Such a wonderful place! So nice to have your very own sanctuary called "home." We are blessed to have one as well.
wow, you did find a gorgeous place :)
That was such a delightful walk Dear Jan. Your garden, pond and surrounds are absolutely beautiful. I'm sure you enjoy every single day there, and that's exactly how life should be. Cheers :D) xx
What a beautiful place! I'm glad your dream came true. I'm sure it took a lot of hard work.
What a beautiful place you have found. How wonderful that you have made your dream happen.
Our dream is about to happen too. Moving into our home that we designed in the woods. : )
God is Good.
wow love the photos and it's so great you followed your dreams. Looking at the flowers i really miss when I had a house in an area where the seasons were mild (no snow) and i knew exactly what plants would thrive. Up here in the mountains I'm not inspired to plant a garden really other than in pots on my railing.
It's wonderful that you were able to make your dream a reality! Your gardens are beautiful - I can imagine the calm feeling of walking through them or sitting and relaxing. I hope you have many happy years in your new home.
absolutely beautiful Jan! love gardens, looks peaceful!
Thank you for sharing your oasis of calm. It is simply beautiful, Jan.
That is indeed a lovely garden you are lucky to have such a nice place to wonder in.

How wonderful, Jan! I am so very happy for you. What a gorgeous setting. I bet you just can't get enough of it!
I envy you for living in such a wonderful place. It's never too late to make dreams come true. With God's help, belief and perseverance, things are possible. Enjoy it all, the house, the gardens, everyday life as retirees!
I'm so happy for you, Jan. This could be the setting for a Jane Austen film.

Thank you for this beautiful, heart-warming... and, yes, inspiring post. You have had much patience and perseverance to make your dream come true.
There are indeed very few things (if any) better than a walk in the garden. :)
Have a happy weekend!
