29 January 2021 - Own Choice

Another week, another Friday and it's time to join Hawthorn for the photo hunt.  Click here to return to her page.

Own choice....  after much thinking I decided to think of a suitable theme for Own Choice and I choose SMILE. So here are a few events since last Friday that have made me smile.

My first bunch of daffodil blooms!  My second hyacinth

this winter and my first attempt at keeping an orchid.

So really it's 3 big smiles for me.

Look who arrived at 9 am ish on Monday.

In August 2020 we ordered a new greenhouse, a big one,

about 8.5 x 16.5 feet.

Not all the boxes and glass are for us...

Other people's orders left behind.

All the small glass inside the shed.

All the big glass panes are leaning on the shed and under the blue

plastic are all the cardboard boxes containing the metal framework.

Fingers crossed the chap will be free by early March

at the latest to come and erect it.  

The old greenhouse (6 x 6 feet) was here when we moved in

almost 6 years ago.  It was beginning to show its age and

last year I came to the conclusion I'd have time to play 

in a bigger one!  So I went and spent my cash!

First we cleared the site and got a local builder to put down

the 20 x 20 foot base.  Gosh it was muddy work for them.

In the meantime I had to postpone delivery of the greenhouse

twice as workmen and glass panes might not be a good combination.

The new one will go somewhere on the new base but we've

yet to make the final decision.  The plan is to re-erect the

old, smaller one next to it...

I took this photo of the greenhouse we bought at the garden

centre.  Ours is slightly longer....  So I await a phone call

from a chap, who is very busy erecting other people's

greenhouses at the moment.

Finally, I had to include a photo of Bob.  We go to our fields every day to feed the pheasants and Bob.  Sometimes we see 2 Bobs there.

As Beloved opens the gate, Bob often flies down to the gate post and then flies up along the hedge 

as we drive up to the shed.  Bob likes his wheat.

So, with a big grin on my face, I'll keep returning to Hawthorn's page to see who else has posted photos that make me smile.

Bye!
