WOOT - Here it is, our very own shed ( Thanks GSHQ), real posh one too, no more old doors etc. it may be small on the outside but, inside, WOW, it's a tardis, plenty of room for everyone.
However it's a bit bare atm, contributions to make it homely greatly appreciated. BUT remember it's Granddads' shed, no chintz please.

Hope to see you all from time to time.

I thought it was the kettle sings?

jeni that's OK and has the benefit of being right on the hills but is nowhere near as good as the Blue Bird.

I remember it from when I was a child. One of my judges lives in Malvern and he said it was still there!

This is the first time I have looked at this thread as I assumed it would be all about football and cars! There is a very good tea shop in Thornton Le Dale - great home-made cakes and you can get the little steam train at Pickering or take a horse drawn cart ride in the Dalby Forest.
Now I must look at the other threads - I could do with reading something shocking. I have just read '50 shades of grey' and I can't understand what the fuss is about. It is not too badly written and the S & M amounts to no more than a bit of bondage and spanking, in the main. Probably happens in many suburban bedrooms - 'Beat me on the bottom with the Woman's Weekly'.
