One man in his shed

As well as a greenhouse, Operation Aubergine involved the dismantling and rebuilding of a lovely little shed. It has a window with a twee net curtain. Matt is delighted with it as you'll see...

The arrival of The Greenhouse

I have finally downloaded the blogger app which, I hope, means more regular posts! (I haven't worked out how to put photos in the correct place yet so please excuse them all dumped at the bottom!)

A couple of months back we spent a weekend enacting Operation Aubergine. This was the code name for our mission to dismantle, transport, and rebuild a large glass greenhouse which we won on eBay for the bargain price of £100!

Here it is, in it's original home in North Kent...

We collected it in this van...

It took five hours to dismantle and get into the van. Next day, we had to out it back up! We put it in a sturdy base of sunken sleepers (oh my god are they heavy!)


All in all a knackering weekend but well worth it...
