We all met Nanna & Grandad down at Great Grandpa's at 9:30am and Daddy & Grandad got straight to work dismantling it. Nanna was doing some more cleaning of the house and I was chatting to her ! And Henry was doing a little bit of everything - mostly showing off his new lunchbag with cars on !!
At about 11am Henry, Nanna and I went to visit Great Grandpa in his new home, Newton Hall. He seemed very happy and his room was lovely. He was very pleased the greenhouse was coming down well, he was worried it may fall apart I think. We had a chat and Great Grandpa had a Whiskey and then we went back to see how Grandad and Daddy were getting on. We found they had almost finished taking down the frame.
After they had taken down all of the frame we stopped for a picnic - Henry's highlight of the day ! We all had some sandwiches and a drink and then Grandad, Daddy and Mummy loaded up the trailer whilst Henry and Nanna picked some daffodil's to put in a vase at home. Nanna picked a special bunch for Henry and this had some blue flowers in called 'Forget-Nots (!)' so Henry wouldn't forget Nanna - he now has these in a vase in his bedroom !
Once we had packed everything we set off for the allotment. Despite looking like a mish-mash of metal, Grandad and Daddy appeared to know what they were doing and the greenhouse frame went up relatively easily. As time was plodding on we decided to leave putting the glass in until the weekend when Uncle Nige can help us too (and we needed to buy 2 new pieces of glass for the door as they broke on the journey across).
