I'm not sure if this is in the right place, if it isn't please feel free to shift it...
It has always been a plan of mine to have a greenhouse in my back garden at home, but I never thought it would come to anything, mainly because of the cost, a new one is simply out of the question and even a second hand one goes for a lot of money these days plus they are like goldust to find.
Anyway, one of my wife's relatives passed away recently and although I never met him, I knew he liked to potter about in the garden and especially in his greenhouse.
Well... his son came round yesterday and he knew I had been after one for ages, so he said it was mine to collect if I wanted it.... for FREE!!
Both he and his dad knew I had an allotment, but I never for one second thought he would offer it to me, but like the good re-cycler that I am, I obviously had to say yes and accept their kind gift
He told me it was about 6' x 4', but when I got there and realised what size it was, I was like a little kid, I mean.. who gives away an 8' x 6' aluminium framed greenhouse....
He has also told me to take what ever else is there, so not only do I have a greenhouse, I also get, 3 water barrels, 3 x 70ltr bags of compost, umpteen pots and trays, thermometers, guttering, shelving, oh and not fogetting the auto-vent
The strange thing is, I was looking out into the back garden on Sunday trying to picture a greenhouse at the top end, I turned around and there before me on the ground was a white feather.... that I KNOW wasn't there before.
My wife has always been a firm believer in Angels and and she has tried to convince me over the years... and gradually, slowly but surely, I started to believe in them too.... now I know they are helping me... and I think this is their way of answering my call...
