We had one that once blew away in huge storm & landed upright in next doors back yard. Hope they don't damage your greenhouse.<br />I had a poor photo of a cobbled street, so used something else, but I do like yours. Pity about the big pot of spuds being so woeful. Never mind, at least the others came good. Have a good weekend & take care.
