Title: Christmas has finally come!
Post by: Mrs Ava on March 07, 2004, 22:42:37
Father Christmas finally delivered my Christmas pressie today from Ava, my shed.  We bought it second hand, needs a little tlc, but it is lovely and big, 6 and a bit by 9 and a bit foot.  Really only needs some new roofing felt and the windows sorting.  The bonus was, we had the contents also.  No tools, but 8 big boxes all packed to overflowing with pots of all sizes, pans to hold a pot of any size, sturdy seed trays, chemicals  ??? ooeer, some I sense are banned - there was a bottle of nippon priced at 2/6d, bowls and about 100 terracotta pots, all different shapes and sizes, everything absolutely shiny clean and all for 35 quid.  

I am thinking, cheap chrimble pressies...hmmm...  ::) Oh well, I shall abuse Ava's time next Saturday when he is mine, all mine to work and work and work.

marvellous - I'll be along!

I had a rather lovely belated birthday present at the weekend - forgot to tell you all about it. Hubby bought me four lovely huge terracotta pots, some fleece and compost. He knows how to get to a girl's heart!  :-*
