Father of the Sheds, Roger Gould, has gone back to his second childhood if not his third, He has provided a challenge for kids of all ages (including Shedders therefore) to use best Blue Peter practice and spare toilet rolls to make a racing car. He was sent this by…
Build a boat! That was the stupid idea put out by Graham having received a Pinterest post including that. Big bikes, Christmas Shed, bird boxes in bulk, a labyrinth, a lean to shed extension to a Shed – largely accomplished so maybe we need a project that could engross a…
We had a request from the People’s Health Trust for a story for them to use. They wanted a screen shot of us using Zoom video conferencing. We got Brian Holiday, Maggie and Lisa, and myself in a 3 way conversation. Sheds at home Look at these Owl Boxes Shedder…
