Cats love to be up high, so Chocolat must be thrilled with easy access to the roof. My brother has cats who are often found lounging on the roof, but it never fails to startle me when I look out the upstairs window. <br />I was fascinated by your poll.

I love the views from the roof - amazing how much one can learn with a bit of elevation! Do you have a worthwhile google-earth image? Mine was useless but for the last 2 years or so has been very valuable. A secret about design: I love the subliminal elements, which others can't possibly see and I only barely, the most. Go octagon!

I don't want to get into more so I haven't been looking into Google + or twitter. I have taken photos from the upstairs sometimes - I'll have to have another go at that next month. I love your wide views - the pond is great, and what a nice contrast between it and the formal path garden.

In this way you can see the whole design and it looks very good. I'm fond of the goat on the Tower, we used to have goats for the children when they were young. Facebook or Twitter is nothing for me.

Chocolat must also appreciate a good view of a pretty garden. Yours is lovely, and thanks to Ungardener for getting up on the roof so I can enjoy it more! Your 'balcony' views demonstrate what a well designed garden you have. By the way, and I know I must have said this before, but I love the names of the different areas of your garden.debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234209863121615779.post-38075941537264763752012-10-08T04:49:21.273+02:002012-10-08T04:49:21.273+02:00The rooftop views of your garden are splendid!

Wikipedia has so many fun little hidden pages, doesn't it? (I'm partial to the pages dedicated to the days of the year. Until I entered my birthday I thought nothing of note had happened on that day in history. Turns out it was a popular day for signing treaties, torrential rains and burst dams.) 32.7153° North is San Diego's latitude so I must mirror your location and climate at a 6-month remove, meaning I'll be seeing some of the same plants that you have blooming away in my garden.
