Very nice. Some of our birds are the same and many are different. Your Robins are really cute. Ours are really a thrush.

I had not spent time on your website before and I thouroughly enjoyed the various videos, especially the T.V. video where I got to tour parts of your garden.  You have a wonderful garden!

Thanks for the link, love seeing wildlife from other countries, some are the same some quite different.  I love the Peacock butterfly.

Thanks for sharing your life with us.  Good to hear from you again. I searched and searched but was dissappointed to not  see the pub anywhere. I thought sure my towels would be featured. LOL. (JOKING)

AP folks, I would reccommend you spend some time on Sam's site. You will find it very restful, interesting and educational. He has spent many years researching, sweating, and creating his gardens. Also, his book is available to further explain how he came to have this wonderful "bit o heaven".

The other day I was surprised to have my DH ask a question about you and discovered he had read your book from the front cover to the back. You mentioned something about "Esther" in your book and he thought you were referring to me. LOL. I pointed out she was one of your friend's wife.

Yah, I was going to mention that your birds are very different. Our yellow finches don't have red heads. And our robins are different too.  >:(- But the stupid heron looked TOO familiar. :(

Great plug Esther
I must remember to post your royalties :)
McCoubrey's pub is pictured on both page one and page two of the Conventional Garden
A photograph of your towels still hasn't made it though :)
Maybe on the next update?

What a beautiful garden you have, and a great site! I marked it so I can return lots and see more. Thank you so much for sharing it!
I'm just happier outside!
