visited my girlfriends grandmother the other day in her care home. I took the dog for a short walk round the gardens before going in and discovered this sad sight – a lovely old potting shed / greenhouse that has been left to fall to pieces. It was a sad sight indeed – because you could see that it was a perfect little place not that long ago. It almost looked like a gardener had died and nobody had known it was there – but it is not that hidden.

I feel partly like I should offer to fix it back up – or I should salvage what is still usable and take it to my allotment.
