Has emailed me his song he is going to sing about sheds at a Folk club tonight…. lovely.
For I Dreamt I Heard My Shed Singing To Me
If you’re drifting out in space
Come here
If the devil’s on your case
Come here
If you stubble and you fall
Come here
If your gods don’t hear your call
Come here
If you’re just one of a kind
Come here
If the time’s left you behind
Come here
If fate just seems so cruel
Come here
If love’s made you a fool
Come here
If your head has blown a fuse
Come here
If you’ve nothing left to loose
Come here
If you struggle to be heard
Come here
If you’ve forgotten every word
Come here
If you’re shipwrecked on the sea
Come here
If you’ve nowhere left to be
Come here
If you’re bursting at the seams
Come here
If you’re crushed beneath your dreams
Come here
If you’ve heard it all before
Come here
If you can’t take anymore
Come here
If the silence drives you mad
Come here
If you miss what you never had
Come here
And dry your eyes for heaven’s sake
It only hurts when your awake.

Dylan (who is 4) is lucky enough to have had a great shed makeover for his birthday.
I will let Dad rob explain.
Started as wendy house for my two daughters Caitlin and Bethan, which they loved when they were young.
As they both got older they used it less and less and it started to look a bit shaby.
My boy Dylan who is 4 in April really wanted something of his own in the garden.
He had two idea’s.
1 Make the wendy house look like the Millennium Falcon.
2 Turn it into an Army base.
I didn’t have enough wood to make the Falcon ( and the thruster’s are difficult to come by) so we opted for idea 2.
Can you shed Beat Dylan’s in the Shed of the year competition, why not share it.
Old Col a former journalist and now part time sheddie has written a book about his time in Fleet street from his garden shed The Taj.
From a modest start on a country weekly in the Yorkshire Dales Colin Dunne staggered, via Leeds and Halifax, London Leamington Spa, Newcastle upon Tyne and Manchester to Fleet Street
For the best part f half a century he delighted readers of local, regional and national newspapers and magazines with his canny ability to spot -and more importantly to report – the strange, the odd, the unlikely and the just plain daft elements of human life.
Colin has kindly sent me two copies of the book, one for me and one that is signed and will be put up for our Charity Auction for bletchley park, thanks Col.
If you can’t wait for the Shed week auction you can grab a copy from amazon.
Media commentator Roy Greenslade & former colleague of Colin’s reviews the book.

Workshop
My shed was built over the course of summer 2009. Most of the materials came from the old existing shed, plus materials from Home Resource, a local construction recycling store. Any new material we used, we tried to get local. Most of our wood was locally milled and over half of the insulation is locally grown wool. A good friend of mine was the contractor, and my partner and I were the labor. I learned a ton about construction – everything from permitting to roofing.
I’ve been blogging the process here: http://thevespiary.com/blog/category/remodel/
My shed is the new home of my business, The Vespiary Book Restoration & Bindery. Before, I was working at my kitchen table. I love this new space. I was able to move my entire library in and now I have a fantastic reading loft. Cup of coffee, good book, cat, snow falling… perfect.
