Blow Torch and wooden shed sounds like an accident waiting to happen but I think you'd know who to call if it all went wrong. The joy of keeping chickens does have a downside. My neighbours keep trying to persuade me to have a couple of chucks and keep them under the trees however they are only after the eggs. I think I'll give chickens a miss.
There's also a pleasure in tidying up the garden at the end of the year. Clearing the beds and planning what will be done next year. I'm still producing far too much vegetables and who would have thought that I would have more cucumbers than I can eat. Of course if I opted to only have two plants then no doubt they would both fail. Good to hear from you. Sxx
