I think I'll start with that then we'll begin with a light snack from the hamper which will be shackled to me like a Bond type top secret briefcase :) The initial blueprint for Miles' permanent polytunnel will be along the lines of the Pompidou centre with possible sun lounge on the top deck. Bring your arc welding gear :) Cid Elsie,

I'll vote myself in as CE (probably on grounds of age), doing all the strategic thinking and planning. You will have to be operational director so that the Men know where and what to dig, as well as being in charge of the hamper. The best workers will be suitably rewarded with a possible bonus for expertise. Your idea of a more permanent hothouse is a good one but may be too costly to the shareholders. The thought of butterflies just kept bringing Wendy Craig back to mind, oh dear :) Elsie Cid,

Do you think that this strapping brother will eat a lot?

He will if it’s free :)

I may consider lending a hand …

Out with the drawing boards, this time we need a more permanent solution to Miles' tropical hot house... (butterflies would be nice attracting the paying public, just a thought.) As to the strapping sibling, all I'm saying is we'd best get into that hamper first as a precautionary measure. He'll love the nettle sandwiches prepared specially and very low fat ... we'll be having foie gras canapes :) Cid Elsie,

Sounds to me as all hands on deck are required for the errection of the polytunnel. Never to shy away from a good diggin, my forks and spades are still shining and rearing to go. Cid, your armour seems to be in constant use anyway. All that remains is the all important hamper stuffed with gourmet foods and, of course, a suitable tipple. Do you think that this strapping brother will eat a lot? Elsie Miles & Cid,

On the polytunnel front, just as well you have a strapping brother willing to lend a hand :) Cid Miles,

On the polytunnel front, just as well you have a strapping brother willing to lend a hand :)
