How do I add mine to that website? _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it. I saw to its every want. I dug the rocks out of it with my bare hands and I made a living thing of it!”

It is undergoing a reincarnation and will be back to its once former glory very soon. Would have been cheaper to buy one new instead. _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it.

If nothing's changed, Alton Towers is owned by Madame Tussaud's (how about a waxwork of Tagwex) and, for the model railway enthusiasts, there's a layout in one of the basements that is said to have cost £32,000 to create about 25 years ago.
They might resurrect the greenhouse one day? Would make a good tea room if their punters can drag themselves away from 'plastic' food (unlikely). I once had the dubious pleasure of going there 17 weekends on the trot. _________________ A novice gardener on newly cultivated, stoney ground. |

You can all start mailing me your earwax so as a start can be made on moi statue. A fitting tribute I think.
17 weekends on the trot? There is a story there somewhere. Coach driving maybe? _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it. I saw to its every want. I dug the rocks out of it with my bare hands and I made a living thing of it!”

That was a brilliant piece...I ended up going onto other suggested Sections and ended up the best part of an hour on it...well worth the visit...even in their decayed state there was something magical about those Green Houses... |

Glad you enjoyed it. I'd love to have money (and land) to have a greenhouse like one of those. Oh, for an orangery, set at 70°F, rattan furniture and tropical plants! One can dream, can't one? _________________ .

Then the Magic is no longer...just to wander through them and think of "What was" is priceless to me...but for now my Potting Shed is going to have to be my Sanctuary set at 1 F... bare Floors...Tools strewn around...Electric Wires...but I'm getting there...
The "Steampunk Greenhouse" was my favourite... |

The Rocker will be on the Veranda...The Radio/CD will be well stocked with "Country CD's" and the Coffee Percolator will be permanently on...no Flask or Taaaaay in this Establishment...........lets try and keep some standards high...
