The Gallery … My Backyard

25 May

So, when I saw this week’s theme for the Gallery, I peered out at the back garden of this house I’m renting and groaned to myself, no blooming way am I taking part because my backyard is just awful. 

Awful, I tell you. 

You see, I’m in a sort of stalemate with the arsehole landlords who were supposed to have a gardener come and clear it all before I moved in.  Five months later and I am still waiting, but that’s another blog post.

Anyway, whilst I was on a walk along the seafront the other morning, I decided it was more so my backyard than the scuzzy garden I’m dealing with right now.  I ended up snapping this photo and thought it perfect for the theme  …  so, hey y’all … welcome to my backyard.

    Oh it’s lovely. I grew up by the sea & really miss it now. As for your landlords… grrr that makes me so angry. We rent houses out & always try to go the extra mile for our tenants but there are so many landlords out there who just don’t give a toss and give us all a bad name lol! PS – tell them you’re only paying half month’s rent until they get the garden sorted out. Honestly!

    Landlords, bastards eh? Much prefer your other garden.

    Now that is one impressive backyard.

    Now that’s a view! Stunning!

    As for your awful garden, you should take a photo of it anyway and do a before & after photo series when your landlords get around to fixing it up. Better yet, host a beautification BBQ and invite all your friends over to fix it up and bill your landlords for it. You know me, I’m all about the parties, but I ain’t much of a gardener. ;-)
