We are in a lull at the Sheds – between Christmas and the New Year.
However there are stirrings and Jim at Staithes Shed has put a call out for any Shedders to get together on Saturday 30th December around the wood burner with the kettle on and biscuits at hand for a good natter.
Sounds like a very good way for the Staithes Shed to say goodbye to 2023 and hello to 2024.
In fact we wish all Shedders in the Whitby district a happy New Year and best wished for 2024.
Our Musical Bryn
Whitby Shed was delighted to view a video recording made just two or three week’s ago of a piece Bryn had a hand in composing. Rob’s comment was that it sounded very professional to him.
Bryn has now provided a YouTube link for us all to see with a short explanation of how it came about. Look out for him in it.
“I helped construct it from guitar, wrote the words together with [a colleague] Candi and was there at the end to sing! It’s very catchy.”
Wishing the Whitby District Shedders a Happy and Healthy start to 2024
Here are some photos of a couple on a camping trip who pulled off onto a track at the side of a rural road in Victoria, AU. They decided to splash through a muddy puddle but the puddle was about .75m deep. They came to a stop with water half way up the vehicle door.
Along came Graham’s son Neil with Graham on board and there was a woman standing on the roof of the vehicle waving her arms. That was when Neil realised her plight.
Neil turned off the road onto the track and inside was the woman’s husband frantically inside. Fortunately Neil has a winch fitted to the front of his truck (why wouldn’t you) and the vehicle was dragged out. The door was opened by the man and out ran a flood of muddy water.
Note the woman’s white shorts which turned brown when she had to step in the water to attach the tow rope.
It’s a New Year’s Day the couple won’t ever forget.
