Introducing the brand new s/h polytunnel

Nice one S!!...It will be great when you have your repairs all done and think of all the things you will be able to grow....My nephew is coming on Monday to build me a perspex greenhouse with wooden frames...cant wait...:>)

That's brilliant and things growing already!
Love the bench.
I think you need a chair in there to sit and enjoy - especially when the lemons get going!

God bless her and all that grows in her!
You should get a lot of pleasure out of this acquisition Stevie - home grown Lemons for your Pimms next Summer for starters!
Peel me a grape! ;-)

Haha Muddy!
What about winter heating for those Lemons?
Looking great Stevie...........watch that space.

wish you lots of luck with everything Stevie,I agree with Stickitoffee get yourself a chair to sit and rest after all your hard work!!!

Thanks folks, she is setting sale nicely.
Good luck with your project Moti,
ST there is a chair there so just need to get some cheese n crackers, real coffee and a cigar,
Muddy not too worried about the lemons, one would be nice, but wanting some grapes,
Lubee, well i'll wrap it up warm,
cheers Mumbty

you have good taste stevie! [sorry dont fancy the cigar tho]
will look forward to seeing more pictures from the polytunnel

You`ll have a lot of fun days in there no matter what the weather is like Stevie, I dont have a floor in my first greenhouse, I only have a granite path in the centre and can grow in the ground if I want, my shelving is all homemade and I remove it every summer when the bedding goes out, worked out a lot cheaper than buying from the supplier..I use upside down buckets as seats in mine, lol....

Way to go Lincs, yep I am very much make do n mend thse days as you can tell,
ST i'll add another pic when I get my cheese n crackers n cigar and maybe wine or real coffee. I have a small camper stove so that might do, then I'll test the self timer

Love the new residence. Will you be taking in tenants to help with the rent?

Brilliant ! :o) Next year you'll be able to grow so much in there. I think it's wonderful. When I saw the first pic I thought 'I want one of those' lol

Love all my names Stevie!! You have brought my nicknames up to about 17 in all!!!

sounds just great stevie, dont go burning that tunnel down tho!!!

just thought ~ if i had a tunnel ~ it would be a place to escape to!!!!

Got no shed at the end of your garden Sticki! Great excuse for a studio!!
Bet it's hot in that polytunnel today. Took the pups for a long early walk so they didn't get too hot!

im hoping it will be a touch cooler today ~ too hot for me!

yes great idea lulu ~ dont care what its for really ~ just my escape tunnel!!!

You need StevieTT or bampy to knock up a quick something for you!

Lil, well it hasnt come to that yet but you never know ; )

Hywel, well to be honest I am just looking forward to having anything : )

Thanx Lubeeloo : ) (18)

ST dont worry am not going to do anything stupid, although i once set fire to myself in y pajamas and nearly went up...but thats another story. Well did another potting bench today for the landlord so not much wood left

will keep the landlord happy then!

will you be doing a pyrotechnic pyjama blog??

Its a long story : )

Sorry loobeeloo already taken!
Come on...pyjama story!

we dont mind hearing it as a serial!??

Serial and pyjammies!!
By the way Stevie LoopyLoo taken also!

Ok this this for ST and HerewegoloopyLulu19 (the average age of a combat soldier in nam).

Many years ago I was living in Tokyo. I got up half asleep and walked zombie like to the gas stove to put the kettle on. I was wearing an old faithful pair of pajamas which were so old in fact they had lots of worn fluff all over.
As I stood by the stove i noticed the smell of burning and looked around to see what it could be. Being half asleep my pj top was actually laying up against the bare flame!!

As quick as a flash I was on fire. I used my arm to try and put it out and rather predictably my arm caught fire very quickly. By this stage I was screaming 'I'm on fire, I'm on fire'. This wasn't actually going to be that effective because none on my neighbours were attendees at any of my english lessons!!

By now it was get quite scary as my whole right side was on fire and starting to feel ooch thats hot!!
In a fit of desperation and after dancing around the kitchen a bit on fire I saw the washing up bowl was full of water. I proceeded to pick it up and throw it all over me. There was a slight problem in that it was full to the brim with plates and cups, all of which smashed on the floor. However it did the job and put it out and I pulled what was left of my top off and shoved it under the tap.

I sustained quite a large yellow burn down my right side and two of my fingers were yellow. So I went to the chemist for some cream. There was a rather young lady at the counter and due to the language barrier all i could do was to show her my fingers. At which point she fainted and fell to the floor!! An old man who I suspect was the manager came over and saw to her. He then took a look at my fingers and side and grunted and walked off. Coming back with some cream. He looked like he had been in the war so would probably have seen alot worse.

So my own stupid fault but just shows you how easy fire can get out of hand. On the positive it is a very quick way indeed to wake up : o

PS thinking about the varous disasters in my life I am thinking of writing a book with a title something like;
'Cars'!, 'Girlfriends'! and 'Holidays'! One mans survival.

What a story!
Blimey stevie you should write that book! You can write!!

Full of plates, oh dear! Scar photos?
My book would be 'Computer'! 'Puppies'! and 'trying to get out of the habit of swearing'!

If only I knew a publisher - it would get through on the title alone - brilliant!

Well its an idea I have been toying with but not sure if it would ever get published, basically a series of disasters in those three main areas, sometimes combining two factors together. After several often unbelievable stories I am now a bit more cautious and now ask myself cetain questions like 'will I be able to 'actually' enjoy this holiday, and how will that be possible'? and 'can I see this car trying to kill me or cause me harm or at least some little or massive inconvenience'? and for women 'can I see this women attacking me at some point in the future'?

Maybe I should have a stab at several chapters and get you girls to assess them for certain criteria!
No photos Lubee, it was 1990 and didnt have a happy snapper then but even though it was a harsh burn it only caused the skin area to turn yellow and it healed but I remember my two fingers stinging for days. That does however pale into insignificance with the more recent attempt by my Ford fiesta to cut two of my fingers off!!! (thats a very long story and harrowing chapter in my automive history) and concerns a car truly possessed and jinxed and will burn for her crimes.

However Lubyloo I do find a women thats swears very attractive assett : )

Quite happy to read any chapters! Jinxed, barbecued car to start?

I self published, sold a few thousand copies!! Probably cost about £1,000 to get printed a few copies and then you take 'em to book shops.
Remember all those wierd and wonderful booktitles that did so well.........will have to heave those titles into the frontline of my memory!!

I think you will now lulu - would like to see those!

I can only write for 6 year olds!

ah so we already have an author in our midst, what were those titles Lulu?

just put one on another pic, while I remembered it, now I can't remember which pic!! You will have to troll through!! Maybe it was the knautia pic?

yes ~ zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance?

'Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance' now you are not telling me you wrote that???

not me.

I wish, it was just one of those wierd titles that did well that I eventually remembered!
I wrote a book called 'Inspiration From the butterfly' and I've forgotten the other one.............hahahahah no, really, been that long!

Sound very nice Lulu, did you have much success with it?

None too bad thanks!
