13th September 2016 marked 100 years since the birth of the world's greatest storyteller, Roald Dahl...and if that isn't a good excuse for a party we don't know what is!

Nicki (One half of the Yard Power-Duo) had a vision...or perhaps I should say a dream, of a Roald Dahl - inspired Wonderland!  So Ronan, Nicki, Jamie, Ken and I set about making it happen.  Armed with pool noodles, duct tape, modroc, paint, wire, a glue gun, and an education streamed to us via YouTube we began...

Some thought us foolhardy...and indeed, as the gluegun burns and expletives muttered increased (mainly by me I have to admit), I may have agreed with them.  But we kept going and on Tuesday our hard work was unveiled!

The glue gun burns were worth it :)  Possibly the best day in the Yard.
