this is a very personal post. I spent all my childhood holidays at this garden. It was my grandmother´s garden at a village near Barcelona. It was full of roses , oleanders and pines. They were three little ponds, and hibiscus and daisies bushes. Since my grandmothers death the garden begun his decadence.
My cousin built up a new house in the same land, next to the old one. Every summer I go to visit her and the view of our childhood garden makes me feel a bit nostalgic.
oh i know that feeling. my parents moved to new house several yrs ago, then old house where i grew up is left alone ....
ResponderEliminarit was the same feeling when i saw when visited there after no body live there. the only good thing was that citrus tree was making oranges recent yrs which was just a tree with leaves with no fruits when i was little.
yes, it is a strange feeling. My oncle stills leaving at this house, but he is almost eighty years old and he can not look after the house now.
ResponderEliminarIt is still our house but I don´t know what are we going to do whit it :(
But the oleander still smell perfect as always :)
Aunque cambia algo, siempre el recuerdo precioso te acompaña. Eso seguro...
ResponderEliminarWow, I know that you said that it used to be full of flowers (and I am sure it was amazing) but it is still so beautiful! I love the overrun look of all the plants just spreading out and growing. It must be strange to visit the place and see all the time that has passed, but also something wonderful- to remember good times too. I think you should try to fix it up and plant some new perennial plants in the plot :)
ResponderEliminarKeia, you are right with the perennials, maybe next year I could suggest it to my family :)
ResponderEliminarThank you for sharing! And it must feel so sad to see her garden neglected.
ResponderEliminarComo todas escriben en ingles, en la traducción me perdí un poco y no entiendo porque está tan abandonado... si el primo vive allí... y sigue en la familia... o no?.... a pesar de todo el jardín mantiene una belleza y dignidad que impresionan! es realmente un jardín de película Alicia.
