    During lunch break at work I had a stroll around the garden and found this little beauty!

    A hot house no less...but sadly not being used for it's purpose..

    In full working order too..

    And if that wasn't bad enough.....a massive Greenhouse completely empty!:doh:

    This garden is only half a mile upstream from me and was flooded too.
    It's under new ownership so fingers crossed they employ a decent gardener who can utilise them.

    What an unusual hothouse, it looks like a boat.
    Lovely garden which has obviously been well designed but the vegetable area looks almost empty. I think I can see a fountain toward the back.
    We can dream...:)

    So is there a little Elf living in the little house.... :hehe:
    :idea: I love the loft conversion though.. So was the clock tower there before or is part of the conversion....??? Very soon you wont see such a difference in the old & new tiles I know, but I think it adds to the eccentricity of the place... Now I like that...:thmb::D
