That is OH's working barn @Lizzie, where he stores all the canes he cuts from the Provençal cane and all the smaller bits of wood destined for his muncher plus firewood after we had 2 big ash trees cut down and some others trimmed. He also stored his machines in there and the aerator/scarifier is definitely dead.
My "party" barn roof was lower but it's as spacious and full of garden furniture and storage for pots, trays, compost, cloches etc. Lots of recently potted babies inside and a whole nursey's worth of bigger pots just outside and sheltering from heatwave and midday sun. Luckily, the only plant casualties were 3 small thyme cuttings.

I think we'll need a new roof too @B3. No idea what the insurance company will say to that but they have said just to go ahead and get it made safe then send estimate for repairs. If they think it's excessive they'll send their own expert. Cart before horses? I'd send him or her now.
When the roof is repaired I shall ask for half the new panels to be perspex for extra daylight for growing babies.
I also have a new "feature" after checking just how firmly this beam is impaled in the ground. If I can recycle the bent, broken and twisted rusty trellis form the side of the barn I can see a clematis climbing up that and into the otherwise dull mimosa to the right.

Youngest daughter is eloping - in March next year. I said i thought the idea of eloping was to keep it secret but she said she's no good at keeping secrets
And to plan it months ahead😯. I always thought it was a spontaneous thing. However..... It's the perfect way to save money on your future rather than waste it on a party. Most of the relatives will probably be grateful too .

She's had such a sh***y year with the Covid putting a stop to her ivf then losing the house her and her OH were buying because the mortgage was pulled. I guess she wanted something to look forward to.

@Obelixx, didn't realize your barns were so big. You were brave to get most of your stuff out, I don't think I would have tried.
