My wife and I started gardening in Fukuoka (Japan) in 2003. There was nothing but muddy clayey sloping land. At the beginning we made several structure such as steps and paths, and planted turf, fruit trees, roses, herbs etc. In 2010, we visited several famous English gardens, including Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Mottisfont Abbey Garden and Hidcote Manor Garden. We were shocked by the glory of those gardens. Since then, we have been trying to make small but glorious gardens by ourselves.

庭の紹介
夫婦で庭づくりを福岡の郊外で2003年に始めました. 赤土むきだしの斜面にまず階段や園路をつくって芝をはり、果樹やバラ、ハーブなどを植えました.
2010年にイギリスの有名なガーデンの、シシングハースト、モティスフォントアビー、ヒドコートマナーなどを回り、その素晴らしさに圧倒され、それから自分たちで小さくても素晴らしい庭をめざして庭づくりをつづけています.

AFTERNOON TEA IN THE GAZEBO (ガゼボでアフタヌーンティー)
I was off duty yesterday afternoon. It was sunny and not so hot and the afternoon sun had set at 4 PM in our garden. I decided to have afternoon tea with my wife in the gazebo. There was neither scone nor sandwich, but I felt completely peaceful.
(昨日の午後は仕事が休みでした。お天気がよくて暑くなく、西日が庭に当たらなくなった午後4時、アフタヌーンティーをガゼボで家内といただくことにしました。スコーンもサンドイッチもありませんが、本当に安らぎました。)
