Last week, as is so often the case, I had a migraine. On Tuesday, in the middle of this, my Tramper was fixed. Toward the end of the week, there was a named storm hereabouts.

Today I made it to the allotment for the first time since said storm, and also in about two weeks, because migraines and brains.

a badly battered greenhouse that is no longer greenhouse shaped

My brain actually did the whole "refusing to parse information provided by my eyes" thing, which was sort of entertaining, but I did eventually manage to process that my greenhouse was no longer greenhouse shaped.

Further investigation revealed, to my astonishment, that I only actually seem to have lost two or three panes of glass. (I am *very* grateful that it's all safety glass.) Whether the aluminium frame has bent beyond saving is another question, and one which I will hopefully make a start on answering tomorrow, but I did at least leave things in a less wretched state than I found them:

a greenhouse that is shaped a little more like a greenhouse, missing most of its roof panels

(And I came home to the vase full of tulips A got me yesterday, which are making me smile every time I look at them, so things could be a whole lot worse.)

Oh noooo, poor greenhouse! I hope the frame does turn out to be salvageable

Awp!

My brain also refused to parse that picture for several seconds.

Congratulations on managing to get the roof ridge back to sort of roof ridge shape, which must have been fun. Hopefully more of it goes back together tomorrow.

And yay for working Trampers.

Best of luck sorting it out. I am also grateful for safety glass, though it appeared on Saturday that we... somehow didn't lose any this time? Luck more than anything, I think, as several sheds and at least three greenhouses were no longer vertical.

I'm glad the damage wasn't as terrible as it seemed at first.

Oof, that's not going to be that much fun to try and rework. Still better than having shattered materials around to have to try and clean.

Oh no - hope that you can untangle the twisty bits.

On the plus side it's still the right way up and in approximately the right shape so hopefully can be fixed.

Our site had one massively mangled greenhouse with all the glass popped out, several smaller wooden buildings blown around and a couple of plastic pop up greenhouses shredded. But overall we suffered less damage than expected.
