SO MUCH TO DO!! (Thank goodness I'm retired.)

Well things are speeding up. The move is approaching fast and we have loads to do.

A major feature of the move is moving all Paul's plants (as mentioned before he has nearly 200 plants in pots!) We also have to dismantle the greenhouse and pack it up safely so that we can take it to the new house. That's our main project for this week.


Paul's cacti moved out of the greenhouse

Its going to be a full week...

Sunday is the start of the greenhouse project and also Joe is coming to dinner.

First large panes of glass removed

On Monday we will continue with the greenhouse project and I need to publish this blog!


On Tuesday we will continue with the greenhouse project and in the evening we are going to an outdoor performance of Twelfth Night at Shrewsbury Castle. It should be fun, the cast is all male as it would have been in Shakespeare's day. We are going with a group of friends, having a picnic and then watching the show.


On Wednesday we will continue with the Greenhouse project and Sam is coming to stay. He is going to join our walking group (Paul and me) and we will do the Bromlow Callow walk.


This is a landmark group of trees that Sam spotted beside the A30 in Cornwall.
It is a similar feature to Bromlow Callow


On Thursday we should finish the greenhouse project. Hopefully it all goes according to plan. We are a bit concerned that the weight of the safely packed glass is going to be very heavy and might be a problem for the removal men.

This carefully packed glass is going to weigh more than 100kg.

 At the end of the week we have Shrewsbury Flower Show on Friday, including watching the evening fireworks.
On Saturday friends are coming to dinner and watching the repeat performance of the firework display which we can see from our garden. Hopefully we will be able to stand on the one clear patch created by the removal of the greenhouse!


I love the fireworks!

  1. Hope your greenhouse arrives intact. It`s a lot of work. We once moved one for Mum from next door and the glass was held in with putty!!! It was a nightmare.

  2. Well, I certainly feel grateful that we don't have to deal with putty. Its still pretty nerve racking though. I'm sure we will end up with some broken glass.

    1. Only just saw your comment. Yes, Paul's cacti are very good. He should enter them in the flower show.
