Rest and Reflect A While

Lockdown Again but Opportunities Still Opening Up
Yes, sadly in one sense but not in another, Whitby District Sheds will close after Wednesday for at least a month. Due to new regulations. The National Trust calls the winter close downs of properties “putting them to bed”. We will be doing the equivalent for the next 3 days…
Joining Forces
A pooch gate and a garden dig over with a story of collaboration behind it. The story behind the pictures . . . It started on Saturday late afternoon, 6 days ago. An email arrived from a lady called Cheryl which said she was working with Revival North Yorkshire, the…
Kits4Kidz
Who knows what Christmas will be like this year for adults but also for children. We are entering winter and dark nights now and come Christmas kids might like something to make that does not involve Lego (though it is good!). Our Sheds have got together with some ideas of…
Contributions from some Shedders
It is important to keep our hands doing (if we can) but also our minds. Here is a contribution from Staithes Shedder Malcolm who is not back at the Shed because of family vulnerabilities. He can still participate by forwarding tit-bits! “A bit of light relief from Virus and…

World Mental Health Day
A message from BBC Look North on Thursday about World Mental Health Day led to some hasty arrangements to film about the role of Sheds in positive mental health of men and women and in combating the risk of suicides, particularly in men. We were particularly pleased that…
Covid impact
Graham has family in Victoria, AU. Not in Melbourne which is a relative hot spot. Bin Lady is amusing as a piece of fun but less so for those involved for real. Graham loves the mention of Bunning (they took over rather unsuccessfully UK Homebase). In Australia they are regarded…
Blockbuster Sheds
Janine Pemberton (of Whitby Eskmouth Scouts and Kidz Making Good) forwarded a blockbuster trailer very appropriate to Sheds. You don’t buy a life, you build it! What blockbusters there will be at our Sheds in the coming week awaits to be seen. Well, here is a blockbuster project that’s…
Shedding in 6’s
Six at Staithes today (Monday 21/9/20). Conforming to rules. We also laid plastic sheeting on the area behind the Garden Club shed we cleared last week and ordered a dumpy back of stones to spread on it it. Technically, it is, we believe, called landscaping. At SAMS in Sleights we…
