*~*A TOUR AROUND MY YARD*~*
It is such a lovely day here in Northumberland I thought I would share some pics from around my yard.. You must remember this is a family home so if you look closely you will see the odd bike wheel and Guinea-pig cottage LOL..
I live in a stone built house which was built around 1830.. The stone from Harbottle Castle was used to build my home and most of the houses in Harbottle.. It was at one time a cobblers shop which was situated upstairs so on the outside of my house the stone steps which still excist today were used to access the shop..
The beautiful Peonies that lie at the bottom of the stone steps..
And the wonderful running water troughs my hubby made from natural stone..
Through the gate my dad made to keep those rascally children in LOL
Another hubby make the stone sundial..
The walls and steps up to the top garden were all done by my hubby too.. A handy chap to have around..
My yard looks so nice today when the sun was shinning I just had to share.. Hope enjoyed the quick tour.. *~*blessings*~*

Cool history of your house! I love the old stone domiciles. Isn't it great to be able to sit back and appreciate all the beautiful that you have in your life :)

I loved this tour of your garden. Looks like your home is old...is it? I'm all about older homes...especially cottage ones. Mine was built in 1931.
