I can visualise it near the end of the garden, hehind a terraced London house with a water butt and runner beans behind it. Directly across the garden was a raise vegetable bed which had once been the Anderson shelter.<br /><br />The brick and timber design is older, several of the Tobacco Baron's mansions in Pollokshields feature larger versions that double as conservatories.<br /><br />I can picture one of this scale attached to a small yet respectable tied dwelling, a small town vicarage, a schoolmaster's house, or a railway stationmaster's house.<br />SteveHolmes11https://www.blogger.com/profile/17392212343858957364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-69785015577611355092016-11-07T19:16:41.349+00:002016-11-07T19:16:41.349+00:00Thanks, Joe.

My last post showed a very inexpensive way to make a 'muddy' 12" gaming tile, which with some suitable cheap plastic plants, some toothpick ruuner-bean frames, maybe some cold frames and a wheelbarrow, would make a suitable allotment in which you vould place your greenhouse. Hmm, I like that idea - might have a cracking at it myself.Carrion Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243490491778253955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-27870257350369960012016-11-06T18:05:31.830+00:002016-11-06T18:05:31.830+00:00Very nice I can see it being very useful in a zomb...Very nice I can see it being very useful in a zombie game... hee hee hee!
