About 133 Ashby Road

I have lived in the house for over 30 yrs and the past 10 yrs or so had the time to ‘create’ in the garden. I have always upcycled and reused and over the years created areas from items given to me or found for free. I love using old materials such as stained glass, bricks, chimneys, barrels etc they have so much character and history. I have always tried to encourage the wildlife and I think the garden does reflects this. In 2024 I had a wildlife pond built and in the following year had newts, frogspawn, various dragonflies and hours of enjoyment watching the birds bath and drink.There is a also a little playhouse for children to enjoy. I will be serving teas, coffees, soft drinks and sandwiches (GF and Vegan available).
