Ah the humble garden shed! Roald Dahl wrote his children’s classics in a shed. Mo Mowlam’s “shed” which was in fact a hut for the police who guarded her house 24 hours a day, in the weeks after the Good Friday agreement. And finally, at long last, we are getting one. After months of saving (not an easy task when all your friends decide to get married in the space of one summer), we have finally been able to order a new shed. We are so thrilled. We will be able to keep all our gardening tools equipment clean and dry, plus the shed will be a great place to store the Christmas decorations and other once-a-year items currently cluttering the spare room. Best of all the shed has large windows to let in the sunlight – making a potting shed for our fragile seedlings. It should arrive in a few weeks. In preparation for this great event, Mellors has built a shed base out of breeze blocks and sand.

Here is the corner of the garden where the new shed will live:

Mellors spent hours getting the base level using a spirit level:

Cant wait to post pictures of our new shed… watch this space!

As the proud new owner of a shed, I entirely resonate with your excitement. Actually, I should qualify that… I am taking over a new site – check out the new developments http://growingtales.wordpress.com if you haven’t lately (so excited!!!) – the shed comes with it. So theoretically it is not mine, but still…Hoorah
