Well - at least I have the photos!

It's totally wrecked :(  !

My greenhouse from Kathryn of Templewood Miniatures has been destroyed.  Totally by accident, but very thoroughly.  It was in a partial box on the lounge beside me, and my darling husband brushed by it to kiss me goodnight as he was leaving for night duty this evening.  He stepped back and we both heard a crunch then another crunch.  Looking down I saw the remnants of my greenhouse under his foot!  He was suitably apologetic but doesn't understand how upset I am. 

For ages I couldn't bring myself to look to see what damage was done.  When I finally did, things were just as bad as I feared - pretty well all of the glazing bars on the sides are broken in at least one place and pieces are missing in lots of places.  It didn't even occur to me to check the soles of Peter's sneakers before he left the house for little pieces - I was too shocked.  And it's been raining for several days so any little bits that were caught in the tread of his shoes has probably been trodden into the mud. 

 I have scoured the carpet thoroughly and can't even find all the pieces to fill in the breaks, .  I have found the little decorative bit that was broken off the top but there are still lots of pieces gone from the sides. The bench supports are broken off and in several pieces, and the roof has gaps in it everywhere.  I rang Peter and asked him to check his shoes but I think it's too late. And I think the damage is too extensive anyway so at the moment I can't think want to do. I am so upset and sad.
