Perthshire - North Scotland

A bit risky getting up to North Scotland in February but there was a small break in the weather and I made it up and back OK - travelling 520 miles on the return journey.

The ground was so frozen solid my mattock just bounced off it, with the occasional spark as it struck rock - so I resorted to my SDS drill to chisel small sections out and brake through the first few inches.  

This is a "Richard" greenhouse - just 2.5m long by 1.5m wide but the sides are especially tall and there is a lot of detail in the roof having 3 finials, crested ridge, valleys and an overhanging canopy.

Dear Russell,

It was great to meet you during my short visit this week but I look forward to a more relaxed visit when I return (early April?) and would love to take you up on the offer of a trip to the pub or bite to eat. I journeyed up the Cairngorm Mountains after leaving yours to see another job but gladly made it home again late last night before the weather turned again.

I hope the base is to you liking - although, on it's own it's an odd looking thing.

Thank you for asking me to build your greenhouse
Kind regards
Robin

You are a wonder -- we have never seen someone work so efficiently or magically -- glad you made it home as we were hoping you were safely away after your dawn departure.  I love looking at the base -- and am so looking forward to your return.  And definitely a pub dinner on us! April would be great.  Let us know when you are headed back and be glad you are not here today -- it is a mess.
 
All best,
 
Russell
