POST TO BE COMPLETED!

Green Shopping (!!!)

I'm back!:) It has been really hard to don't write, but I really wanted to maintain my intentions! :):):)
What's happen this past week?

I had some 'Green Shopping'!:):):)
You have to know that this year my New-Year-List-of-Good-Intentions, included the voice: "try to live as ecofriendly as I can'... and I proposed myself to buy as much 'already loved' that I could.
I started with great enthusiasm, especially when I discovered that charity shops were full of interesting Gardening/Plants/Design related books...and the fact that I was also helping child/hospitals/people in trouble, together with the great excuse 'I have to read more books to improve my English', helped this enthusiasm to grow! :)

At one point, facing the fact that my collection was increasing out of control and that I wished to save for some little projects... I decided to buy STRICTLY-NEEDED-BOOK only!

But then....while walking far from home...I crossed the window of an Oxfam shop...and there I 'failed'!:) I entered 'for a quick look only'...and I went out with these:

Then few days later I went to the library to return some books...and even before I did it, I had these in hands:

I didn't realized how many books I bought until I put them together to take the pictures!! LOL!

Let's get started!

Hi all,

eventually after so much time thinking and weighing...I started my blog!

It is born with the aim to share my wonderful journey in world of Garden Design and my experiences here in England.

Even if I'm very excited about the blog, and can't wait the time to improve it and write a lot of interesting (and followed!) posts, I'm aware that blogging could be very time consuming. So, for the moment, I will write only once at week to give plenty of time to my studies and garden plans.

Hope you will enjoy every single bit of it!
