All Good Deeds Have their Reward
Last week I phoned a friend who is house bound with knee replacement surgery, she wanted a prescription picked up from her doctor and dropped off at the pharmacy. Her doctor has a practice in a lovely large old house in the lovely large old house section of town. And guess what they were taking out of a lovely old large house,in that section of town, yes a beautiful set of ten windows. Now I have stopped picking up discarded windows, because hubby says he will not put anymore in the garage, but I ask you how could you pass these by?
I always dream of making my own green house or garden conservatory out of them, maybe one day.
The above scavenged green house is in the Orkney Islands and I got it off Wind and Wellies Blog.
It was a bitter day and I would not have been in that section of town if I had not being doing my good deed. Things do have a way of working out.
Plus I saw my friend and we shared a pot of tea.

A few years ago, a friend had all her windows replaced and suggested to her long-suffering son that he could build her a conservatory with the old windows. He did and it was beautiful and I was jealous! So your conservatory may become a reality also.
