Hmmm ... now that you mention it ...
Ah well - too late now. It's bought and arriving on Wednesday. I'm now having lots of fun trying to level the site. Simple, I thought. Well, it's simple in theory. I'll have another go tomorrow

Mike, shall I make some patchwork curtains for it? & I'm sure if you asked her nicely, Mrs Flibble would crocet you some lace nets!
Seriously, it looks quite practical. You'll have to let us know how UV stable it turns out to be in the long run.

Only needs room for a chair and a sherry bottle - that's what sheds are for isn't it?

You may all mock.
Wait till you see the new greenhouse

I thought they were either turned into pubs or where where middle aged men played with their toy train sets.
So maybe that's what Mike has in mind for the greenhouse, spread sand all over the floor and pretend it's a beachside bar in the Bahamas.

Well, it's up - all but the roofing panels. I went out for a smoke and stood looking at it in the twilight. It's big - so big that it looks nothing like a Wendy house. Oldjerry was right, I'm afraid - it really does look like a mausoleum
.
So could you ladies rethink the decor, please?
