Stranger No44

My Friday people this week is Callum a young man trying to put up a second hand greenhouse without the correct nuts and bolts and no instructions, on his new allotment (a plot of land rented by an individual for growing vegetables or flowers) he was getting the plot ready for use, I was passing by and offered a helping hand on the understanding I could take his portrait on completion, all went well managed to bolt the greenhouse together in no time, then came the time for the photograph then he was not so keen, but true to his word he did his best pose and smile, at least I got the shot and he got a free standing greenhouse frame,
I think you were the hero, Peter. It must have been a relief for Callum.

He doesn't look too happy (although he should be with your helping hand!)

@rosiekind Thank you Rosie for your comment and Fav, I could see him struggling I've put up a few greenhouses in my time so just had to stay and help, I would not have pushed him to pose if he was uneasy about it, I just smiled and jollied him along a bit:)

He doesn't look too sure does he. I bet he was relieved that you helped with the greenhouse though.

@onewing Thank you Babs he was very pleased to get the greenhouse up Callum is only a young lad and I was surprised he had requested an allotment plot, Callum said he intends to grow only things that he can eat, I wished him well and said I'd be back to see how the plot is doing:)
