When reading a blog, do you ever wonder about the author?
Instead of just jumping in and posting day-to-day occurrences, a brief introduction may be in order ...
Difficult to believe but these days, most people would probably (hopefully) refer to DH and myself as middle aged! Our daughter, who has long since flown the coop, might say we are old but that would make my parents (both still around) ancient which they absolutely are not!
Originally from South Africa, near Johannesburg, I have lived in the north-eastern part of Switzerland near the Lake of Constance for almost 20 years now. Prior to that, we jumped between South Africa, Sweden and Switzerland depending on where DH’s job took him.
Both DH and I still work (at the same company) although since June this year, I have reduced my hours and now have more time to spend doing what I love best – gardening!
My interest in gardening most definitely comes from my mom and over the years, I have tried to implement her teachings in all the gardens we have had. She has been my source of inspiration and has always been ready with advice and a helping hand wherever possible.
Talking a walk around my Mom’s garden is always interesting!
Anyway moving on, we purchased our present home, then 30 years old, in September 2007. Renovating the house was our first priority at that stage – the garden, even though it was a bit of a jungle, had to wait!

In my next posts I am going to try and recapture what has happened from then until now. Looking back through all the old pics is really going to be fun! Freshen up all the old memories!
