This page is about the hobbies and interests of my partner, Ian, and me, Andrew. We think this is a great way to get to know other people.

We're a couple from United Kingdom whose main hobby, as you can see from the picture below, is our beautiful and large garden and our two daft and lovely cats.

If you're seeing us for the first time - Hi! - and please write us if your interests match ours.

That's us above on holiday in Devon, Ian's on the left me on the right, and below is a small part of our garden

We would love to correspond with others, gay or straight, about gardens and gardening , we are especially interested in growing our own perennials and unusual annuals. We have been at our present house for four years and when we came here the house had been empty for two years and the garden had been stripped down to a bare canvas of lawn, borders and vegetable plot and orchard. The garden is split into four distinct areas, at the moment. A flower garden and patios next to the house, a large vegetable area with two large greenhouses, another flower garden area and, nestled at the top of the garden, a small orchard with raspberries, blackcurrants, loganberries, cherries, plums gooseberries and apples. We also grow lots of vegetables and we make our own jams, pickles and wine.

So why not e-mail us and tell us about your garden.

These are our two wonderful cats, Stan (black and white) and Molly (the black one - aka madmolly). They are both approximately three years old and very healthy.

They were both rescue cats and are not related. As you can see they love each other to bits and spend hours playing and being together.

Visit our Garden page, see a gallery of pictures, read the monthly diary and let us know what you think.
