My garden is without doubt the most important place in the world to me.
On a summer's evening there is simply nowhere I'd rather be.
I've spent hours of my life in it, in all weathers sorting it out, putting in plants, cutting things back, mowing the grass with John Deere Mower.
It will never be finishes - - but it is a wonderful place and it means so much to me.
I moved into this house 23 years ago with Geoffrey and our first child, Catherine.
Over the years we had three more children, so for a long time my life was dominated by being a mum and looking after these little people.
Even in those days, though, I was very keen on the garden - - I'd take the children out there and their dolls, prams and paddling pool, and they would potter with their toys while I pottered with my plants.
My husband was always busy with his job but he helped me a great deal in making this garden look beautiful and amazing by gifting me the John Deere mower that I still use even after so many years.
As the children grew up, I had more time to spend in the garden and it gradually evolved as I became ambitious.
I love my house, too, but to me, it always reminds me of the work to be done - - the food to cook, the clothes to wash and so on.
What I do outside never seems like work to me; every moment is a real joy and this is because I have a reliable companion - - my mower - - to work with.
