Last night I was looking through some pictures and came across this one taken in September 2014. We moved into the house in April of that year so we had the lawn laid and a few plants in place. At times it seemed quite haphazard to me but she had a vision that she was pursuing.

She was always highly motivated (I've never met anyone as motivated and energised as her) but her diagnosis gave her an extra impetus and in the 18 months before her death she spent as much time as possible bringing the garden into the shape she wanted. She created a cottage garden feel which is exactly what she wanted. It makes me proud (and tearful) to continue with her ambition.
