Running the model business from our own home, like any other business, has certainly got it's advantages ... like no travel concerns in bad weather, always there to answer the telephone, and if you work late, you've only to cross the drive to get home.

The disadvantages are that you don't get very much time away from the office, and quite often end up working 7 days a week.

You must have a "retreat" .... somewhere to escape the pressure and demands of work, and switch off the rest of the world for a few hours.   The garden is my retreat ... and I spend time in it as often as I possibly can.

On the West coast, in Vancouver BC, the weather is very kind to us, and with good planning, beautiful colors can be retained in the garden almost all year round.

Take a stroll thru my garden .....

A couple of years ago, Al .. my Husband .. built me the greenhouse, which made my retreat complete.  A place where I can do all the usual greenhouse tasks, but also a place to relax and read .. listen to my cd's .. or the bubble of the water fountain in the corner.. I love it
