Path of Pebbles and Brick

This path makes my heart sing! It is so charming and old fashioned. It has stood the test of time and has aged beautifully within this lovely walled garden. Do want! via

I love the look of the brick and pebbles.

I always wonder what you would do if you were confronted with something like that if you were wearing a pair high heel shoes. ;-O

Catherine-- It might be a little tricky with high heels but you could try to stay on the bricks. Or take off your shoes. I recently viewed a house that had a reflexology walk in the back yard made of smooth river rocks.

The downtown business district of my city closed a street to make it into a mall. They paved it with cobbles that were about 1/4 inch apart with no mortar between them. All the professional women I know that worked there had the leather on their heels stripped or the heels completely broken off. If they had all gotten together to total up the cost, it would have been astronomical!

Catherine -- Yikes! It sounds as if they used interlocking pavers that are very unfriendly to high heels. Since there is no mortar, they drain better and don't puddle and freeze in the winter. Those poor ladies and their shoes. Surely they eventually switched to walking shoes with work shoes carried in tote bags.

I could look at this fine place forever. Thanks for finding and sharing it with us. The texture and design of the walk and wall and garden beds bouncing with plants of various heights - order without the look of an over-bearing gardener. Simply lovely and walkable for we with sensible shoes.

Linda -- I am always grounded with my "sensible" shoes. I always wear flats and my feet are always happy. I am so glad you loved this photo too and your description of the garden beds made me smile.
