What you doing in your shed for St David’s Day?

Posted on March 1st, 2010

I put a request on twitter the other week, and did not get much response so I emailed some Welsh sheddies and did not get much response either but the ones who did were great.

Well, St. Davids Day being a Monday I will be pottering in my work
shed at the Aberystwyth University. Thanks to grants from various august
bodies, I have been able to evolve a nicely equipped shed and to hide in it
between coffee and beer breaks.

Probably Saturday will be spent trying to find the fault on the central
locking on my 1952 Fordson Major. Sunday morning will be The St. Davids Day
Service at Chapel of course, followed by Cawl and cheese and a nice relaxing
afternoon sorting my collection of 7/16 Whitworth bolts before watching
Antiques Roadshow.

Lee from The Red Dragon (chataux delux) did not say anything just sent me some photos from Last St David’s Day.

So Welsh Sheddies let me know what you get up to.

Do you have a colourful shed and are you a bit quirky – do you want to be in a TV ad for Tea?

Posted on January 12th, 2010

As you know we love tea in the shed here, what with our long relationship with builders tea, but now another tea company wants to get the sheddies involved in drinking.

Had this email from Amy Gairdner

We are casting for an advert on Tick Tock tea (Redbush tea – South African). We are looking for a variety of images of Britain. I immediately thought of sheds. I would like to speak to someone that has a very colourful/quirky shed inside and out and if possible looks a bit quirky themselves.

If you fit the bill and make it past the casting tape they may even pay you! (if they do send me some redbush tea please!)

for more info email amygairdner[@]hotmail.co.uk (remove [] to get email)

The Damon Hill Arms Pub Garden Shed- in the news

Posted on January 4th, 2010

I love this time of year as most local media are looking for quirky stories to fill in the gaps!, of course you sheddies always fit the bill what with your great enthusiasm and unique sheds.

The Damon Hill Arms owned by Stuart Everard was in his local paper this week and will be interviewed by Radio Humberside as well.

Spread the love sheddies!

Sheddie turns his shed into Brewery – has to pay duty

Posted on October 26th, 2009

The metro reports

When a real ale lover made a tipple for his friends, little did he know that he’d be forced to register himself as a brewery.

Robert Shields, who produces 100 pints a month, decided to start charging friends six months after he started brewing.

But before selling the home-made Moorlands and Runnymede bitters, he was told to convert his shed into a bonded warehouse and apply for two licences.

Her Majesty’s Revenue and Custom’s guidelines added he must pay 20p duty a bottle, measure how much alcohol is in his beer and record how much malt he buys.

of course when I finally get my shed brews done – it wont be of demonstrable quality to sell!

We love lady sheddies and their lady sheds

Posted on October 14th, 2009

I was thinking this morning how many great new sheds we have on readersheds.co.uk and how many of them are lady sheddies, even Suzi Perry from the gadget show thinks ladies with sheds are great as she tweeted “I think we dig lady sheds!!”, now cmon Suzi Share your shed! or any other Lady Sheddies – Lets See your Lady Sheds too.

Ladies are becoming a force in the shed world where it used to be a bastion of male shedism, of course having a his and her shed is best, as me and MrsUW know
