Green-fingered Charlotte Church is desperate to own an allotment, she has revealed.

The multi-millionaire singer-turned-TV host said she already grows her own vegetables and collects eggs laid by her hens.

Church, 22, who is expecting her second baby in November with rugby star boyfriend Gavin Henson, said: “I love gardening. Gavin and I grow a lot of our own vegetables and we have some hens for fresh eggs. We’ve got dogs and geese as well,” she told Hello! magazine.

Well I hope she will share her shed when she gets it.

Rod Bowles, of Wooldale doesn’t need to catch a plane to sample the atmosphere of a Greek taverna; he just opens the door of his garden shed. ANDREW BALDWIN reports

FORGET whisky in the weedkiller bottle and a padlock on the door. Sheds are no longer just a retreat for hen-pecked husbands but a place to dream.

Shed-lovers – or sheddies as they’re known – have begun to convert their sacred shed spaces into everything from saunas and cinemas to recording studios and laboratories.

But Rod Bowles has something few people would expect in the garden of a house at Wooldale, a Greek taverna.

Guests don’t trip over the mower or sit on a sack of spuds, but relax on comfy chairs and sip ice-cold beers.

The shed has a fully-fitted bar, furniture, fridges and a television for the sport, making it a structure which certainly has the wow factor on a balmy afternoon.

Rod, 61, first kitted out his bar-in-a-garden about eight years ago after retiring as landlord of the Huntsman pub above Holmfirth.

He got the idea after being impressed by the bars when he visited friends who live in Corfu.

Our clever friends and hutties over at Thurgarton Iron Works ask me the other week if I wanted a keyring for my shed, ok I said, I did not expect such a great bit of brass work, with readersheds.co.uk on it and a reminder that the keyring is for your shed!

Lovely work, look out for a competition where you can win one soon, if any sheddie would like to buy one post a comment and I will see how much Thurgarton can do them for.

Another sporting sheddie.

Mr. Gareth Howells Boxing Coach. For services to Young People in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire
82yrs (Llanelli, Carmarthenshire)

In 1942 he started Trostre Amateur Boxing Club (ABC), then Bynea ABC, in a garden shed in Llanelli, eventually finding a permanent home in Trostre, Llanelli. He has worked tirelessly in a voluntary capacity to train local youngsters for over 60 years.

He is as dedicated now as he was in 1942, spending his evenings working at the gym to develop and inspire young boxers to become good athletes and well rounded citizens.
