Pre-gale visit

12/4/2023

 
The forecast of gales along the coast made me think about my brassica tunnels that I had un-pegged ready to move to their new positions. In the past I've seen heavier structures bowled over and sometimes smashed to bits by strong winds. So I decided I needed to stake them back down temporarily.
Collecting a few stakes, a club hammer and screws and screwdriver drill, I prevailed on the wife to run me down early this morning. On the way in I saw one plastic lightweight greenhouse already in pieces resting against the shed beside it. Hopefully that is where it will stay!
While the stakes would not go in at the best places in the corners I did get two stakes in each end of both tunnels and screwed to substantial posts.
Before I left I weighed down several lightweight items, moved my chair into the greenhouse and replaced the closing system on the tunnel doors as the wind was blowing them open already.
Home in time to get ready to go to John Bachelor's funeral later today. A sad loss of someone who did a great deal for Roeshot Hill - and Christchurch.
