Maybe this is a competitor for intriguing headline of the year! All part of our usual unusual week. Recently our Sheds were approached to see whether we would like to help promote the Tour de Yorkshire in May. The ride will start in Beverley and weave its way up the…
Men do not talk about health issues publicly, nor to each other in a Shed. Somehow we do not have the language or the experience of communicating, to share our feelings. Well, I’m going to find the words to express what has been going on with me for a couple…

It is amazing how long the brain cells in a Shedder take to line up!! Alexa, wake us up In recent months Shedder Bob has joined Graham as a member of the Sleights Connecting Community group. Over about 2 years now the group has tried to introduce a communications technology…
A personal message to Shedders in Whitby, Staithes, BayThorpe and Littlebeck/Sleights AND to our partners in the work without whom the Sheds would not be what they have become over 4 years. Funders ( 8 individual organisations) and their representatives, our sign-posters and referrers who have encouraged us and welcomed…
Talents and talented on show (plus a few others!) [Graham has learnt a new skill of Pop Ups!]
