It is much appreciated. Know what you mean. I hope to always see what I design in my mind. It would be stupid otherwise. but the one that got away, I feel with a kind of longing to have it myself! As to quality of life I think its the Thomas Church type attitude with us. Gardens are for people and all that! Best Wishes Robert Dear Evelyn,

Yes I think they feel they have chose right and one has to hope they have. They took time to think about the choice between and that therefore feels a reasoned decision. Nice too to have ideas up your sleeve for another occasion! Best R Hi Debbie,

Still hanker for my sea of wafting backlit perennials tho! Marquee is a big tent such as you might use for large social functions. Usually hired for the event. Either for bar and dancefloor and casual seating, or formal dining, or both if large enough! Thanks for your interest and supportive comments. Praise from peers is always special. Sorry I unintentionally misled you by the way! Lesley says it was my punctuation! Best R Yes, I think cost, labour in gardening and simplicity won the day.

The pretty version would have needed more help gardening, love it tho I did. Too bad. One for the still to do file! Thanks for your comments. Best R Hi Susan,

We liked both really, in different ways and will certainly post the story on an ongoing basis. Yes it is good to have different perspectives for rest, and in that garden I think the sun and the wind will decide where they sit. Thanks so much for your interest!

Yes we will certainly post up the story as it unrolls. The tender process began yesterday and we will keep a close eye on proceedings. Thanks so much for your interest!

It is always worth listening to what others have to say about how they work, I think. I am hoping to open up a discussion with you guys to see whther we need to change what we do! I think the clients have chosen the design which is going to work for them, and that is after all what it is all about, however much we loved the other one - tho truth to tell we loved both. They now have the final colour version, which I will post up a piccy of at some point. The job went out to tender yesterday! Best wishes to you! R Hi, Jocelyn, thanks for your comments.

I think we can all learn so much from each other and shortly I want to use our group facebook scene to discuss some things and see whether we brits can pick your sassy US brains and learn how to improve what we do!

And I love the poetry of having several seating areas to "allow you to move with the sun and the wind." Quality of life is obviously key in your designs.

I love the sketches. I think we've all had 'the one that got away' and look back and wonder if the owners ever wonder if they made the wrong decision. Thanks for the sharing your design process.
