Alpine house - to flag or not to flag!

[David Nicholson]

Nice set up John. I know of another Forumist who has recently set up a couple of new alpine houses but he hasn't shown us pictures yet!!


Shelagh, liked the hat, have you been to a wedding recently

Hi Mark,
The plunges are made by our own steel fabrication company. All stainless steel, so it should see me out.
I haven't seen the invoice yet - so ......... 
(With luck it might turn out to be just one of those little directors perks you know. )

Nice set up Brian. I know of another Forumist who has recently set up a couple of new alpine houses but he hasn't shown us pictures yet!!

 Bet I know who you mean, David.... I've got pix.... should I ask his permission to show them?

[Diane Clement]

I am in such shock at seeing Brian without a tie for only the second time, ever...

Now, Maggi, you will have to reveal your secret ....
... what was the occasion of the first time     

[Maggi Young]

DIANE!   A lady never reveals such things  ........... and I won't either.....

He said , "yes" 
Here is a photo of the new glasshouses of Forumist Giles Reed........


Now..... the larger one, nearer the camera, doesn't seem to have any flooring as yet, but the smaller one, which already has some plants in, I see... seems to have flags as a pathway and gravel under the benches...?   We'll need to wait to hear what Giles plans to use as flooring..?

I understand that the need for the new glasshouses arose from the fact that the old one was trashed by storms and  wind -who knew they HAD such weather in Northants??  
These new house look pretty sturdy to me......are they a particular "make", Giles?

[Giles]

Hartley Greenhouses.
Guaranteed to withstand 100mph winds (I am serious).
Also withtands stones being thrown at them (useful for people that live in glasshouses (!))
The newer/larger house has a concrete slab floor (it's just very muddy!).

Wow!!!!

It must be great to have that much space.

Nice houses.

Have you got the P11D ready John?

[Lesley Cox]

Johnny, what a super little set-up! So pleased you insisted on formal dress for the opening cerermony. Makes for a more memorable occasion. Champagne and cakes to follow?

And Giles! I'm wildly envious of your pair of glasshouses. Will you marry me?

[JohnnyD]

I'd rather it was a P45 David.

Whenever I suggest to our son Andrew that it is time for me to retire I get the same response - "Dream on Dad!"

[David Nicholson]

Not every day you get an offer like that Giles!
