“ July 23 , 2018 , is a day that I will not soon forget . It was Monday evening , I had been trifle football and was having a beer with a booster . coincidently , we talked with the bartender about all the preventative measures that , as an enterpriser , you nowadays have to take to be see to it against fire . He complained about all the payments he had to make and I told him that I to the full check with him . We have also been paying for years for all kinds of inspections , better electrical system and other measure as well . That just costs quite a lot of money and they always find something that still needs to be better or correct . But then , prevention is better than the cure , you could say , and better that than …

“ Less than fifteen minutes later I was sitting in the car when my wife called in sheer scare . “ The whole garden is on flak ! ” You are acquire quite a shock and it is also a very strange realization . You do not know on the dot how bad it is , it will not be that bad , it can not be that bad ? ! Of naturally , I drove home like mad and when I got there , the whole lane was full of people , fire brigade , a circumstances of fuss . I saw my household safely on the lawn and a big burden fell off my shoulders . Sometimes you might say that mass are the most important thing , a truth that suddenly dawned on me at that time . Ultimately there is only material harm , annoying but oh well . A sort of peace arrive over me , the whole event as it were slipped aside from me and I remember that even the fire brigade was surprised how calm I was . A look in the new Marguerite Radclyffe Hall
Make wrong inventory"My married woman in peculiar thought it was a direful event because she reckoned , " That is the end of John ’s spirit ’s work . " And it really was a serious fire . The entire storage warehouse and canteen burn down , the flames were twice as high as the storage warehouse itself . Fortunately , our house and the greenhouses behind the house were spare thanks to the efforts of the fire brigade . But from the processing area itself , nothing was leave . The new canteen
“ afterwards you do cease up in a rather unusual situation . The next morning you wake up and the first matter you are doing is to list an inventory . So the warehouse is gone , what did it hold in ? You suddenly , for example , think of your climate computing machine . It command the full garden . Whatever you would like to do , you could not do anything . And what about the urine whole ? The plants should have had water that night and were already limp . And everywhere there is mess , everywhere . The pump did n’t lick any longer , so in the middle of the ebb and flow floor there was a large puddle with dirty fire wipe out piss and everything on the side was dry . With the water also pieces of solar panels were washed up all the way to the back of the glasshouse . And all that you think is , " This will never be in order again . "
“ At the same time , as it were , your eyes are give and you see that in the middle of the chaos how suddenly everyone is ready to help you . The companies we had call for emergency brake help , electricians and supplier , the insurance society , the neighbor and other people from the neighborhood , family and protagonist . One directly out assume the broom , the other is go to implore for you , solution for all kind of trouble are suggest . A dainty piece of Westland brainpower , plus approaching , roll out up your arm and get to piece of work .
Hardly any outages“My attention soon travel entirely to the plant life . We no longer had pump and could therefore no longer drown the base . Irrigation from above was possible , but commonly you do n’t do that . That is no problem for the younger flora , but when they get older they do n’t wish it , the leaves will start to waste . What would be the best thing to do ? That first evening we made everything very wet , hope we did the ripe affair . We have been work as hard we could and actually I did not have much self-confidence in it . You are actually doing so many strange thing that it just ca n’t go well . ”John in front of the new storage warehouse
“ The most amazing thing of all is that we ended up with almost no outages . One - half of the plants had received dirty water , the other half no water . The plants also had no fertiliser for a week . When they did receive it a workweek or so after , then we had to dose everything by hand and a lot of thing could have gone incorrectly there too . Literally nothing was right and it was the hot weeks of the year . As everyone will still think back , it was very hot and ironical that summer . For a long time , I suppose that we would have to throw a lot off , but that was not the case . Ultimately , a few thousand plant at the most . When a few calendar month later I heard from fellow grower that they had a mickle of trouble with the warm weather condition , that there were many who really had n’t been able to get all the flora through properly … That still makes me reflect , that ’s not my achievement and I really see it as a benediction from God that it die that direction .
“ Despite all the beautiful things that it also has get us , it was , of form , no fun . In fact , we are still recuperate in some areas . But I learned a lot from it and , not unimportantly , we quickly had a Modern warehouse . The serviceman who built it deserve a medal . I can still see them standing , firmly work in the coldness from 6:00 am to 4:30 pm . Moreover , it has become a better storage warehouse than the old one , because it is also better insulated and has been outfit again with solar panels . We now also have air conditioning in the canteen , but due to the first-class insularity , we did n’t even necessitate it this summer . ”
