    Thank goodness you have the lovely Ant to help you Kate, what a gentleman in the true sense of the word he is. He cares about you, about nature, what a treasure to have as a neighbor, and you seem so fond of each other, which is great. His wife is very lucky to have a lovely husband like him. xxx

      Hello Kate! This is such a super project! I first came across green roofs when I visited Norway over thirty years ago, and fell in love with the whole concept.

    I have a small suggestion: Add a couple of small floating solar disc fountains to your pond. They are inexpensive, maybe 10 pounds, and it's amazing how quickly you will get a smile on your face.

    Oh how I wish I had someone as wonderful as Ant nearby by help with all the projects I think up. He’s such a treasure! And I just love the way you two work together. The cabin roof is perfect! These project videos are so fantastic! I watched it just as I finished planting several pots to put around our yard to bring bright spots to darker areas. You are such an inspiration. Thank you for another fabulous, inspiring video!

    It's fantastic that you had the imagination and skills to make such a jewel of a place from a boggy piece of land.
    I can imagine next time it rains , you could sit in there with some tea, honey and scones. Snuggle into a quillt and watch the rain drops on the pond!
    Enjoy!❤

    At first, I imagined a painted green metal roof when Kate said a 'green roof'. What a nice surprise to see the living roof! Some creeping Jenny with their pretty yellow flowers and snow in summer would be pretty as they cascade over the edge of the roof. And Ant is an amazing helper!
