Moon Landing

It is a quite well kept secret that I am not happy with heights. My dear wife was unaware of my fear until we went to Warwick Castle and climbed up to the very top of the tallest tower there. She said 'Hey Greg look down there - you can see the river'. I nearly keeled over there an then and my secret was out. Fortunately I have other attributes which mean she can overlook this weakness and still love me!

One of our landlords, H, also knows that I don't like heights as I have refused to go up ladders in his property renovations and new builds a couple of times. Today must have been special though because this morning he gave me some top tips for ladder climbing then forced me up a ladder to look at what will be the penthouse in his new development.



The doorway you can see on the right is on the first floor and I went all the way up to that bit of wood near the velux windows. Aargh! H and the electrician A, man-handled me a bit to get me off the top of the ladder and I stood on that bit of wood for a while to chat and admire the view then came back down again.

Here's another view of the roof




H had to get me a cup of tea when I was back on safe ground and I am still not convinced that I am cured of my fear but this maybe Step One of a Ten Step programme.......
