I am now a published writer – sort of

My first column has appeared in my local newspaper, the South Wales Echo, or trumpet of truth as we call it in the shed HQ. for today’s edition. Saturday 28th Feb

South Wales Echo - Yesterdays frontpage today

South Wales Echo - Yesterdays frontpage today

If you read it you will realise its not my normal blog writing style, as it’s been subbed by a professional journalist who use such things as grammer and spell checking.. it will never catch on.

but hopefully its another outlet for my shed ramblings, so do and buy the Echo!

Were you in the ShedMen books?

shedmen

One of my recent sheddies Chris mentioned that he was in the wonderful book Shed Men (by Gareth Jones) which of course was the follow up to the seminal shed book, Men and Sheds by Gordon Thorburn.

I was lucky to be slightly involved in Gareth’s great book, as he contacted me a few times while it was in production and asked for some shed advice (as if I know anything) and I got a thank you in the wossname (which was nice), unfortunately I lost contact with Gareth (you know where I am)

Anyway enough name dropping, It’s about time all the sheddies that were featured in the books put their sheds on readersheds.co.uk, so that you lot can see any updates to the sheds or sheddies. (of course if you have already then contact me and I will feature you

So if you and your shed were in these two great books, then please share your shed and mention which book you where in.

Of course you can still buy these great books from the readersheds book shop (which I get a share if you buy from!)

In my onion they best shed books out there, until alex’s comes out or they do a “Readersheds.co.uk the Book”, Book
