News from the Shed: Just us girls
http://newsontheshed.blogspot.com/2009/04/just-us-girls.html
News from the Shed. The muddy fun of rebuilding a house. Sunday, April 5, 2009. Tonight is a ground breaking moment for me – it has only taken a year but I have finally lit the most amazing fire. I may have slightly overdone it though as I have spent Friday and Saturday morning without a voice and it was only brought back through the excitement of a girls’ weekend. The boys and men were dismissed from the caravans on Saturday morning and trouble arrived! 4 P peddling like fury on a shopper bike with a fl...

News from the Shed: Swimming in concrete
http://newsontheshed.blogspot.com/2009/02/swimming-in-concrete.html
News from the Shed. The muddy fun of rebuilding a house. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. Work has begun again on the shed. As the digger man and J had been digging the trench at one point they thought that they may have hit a main drain as so much water gushed out from under the house. About 5 minutes later when the water had finally subsided it became apparent that this was all the water that had been trapped under the Shed. We have effectively been floating here for the past year. I had better not go on, a...

News from the Shed. The muddy fun of rebuilding a house. Sunday, November 9, 2008. Had a whirlwind of a weekend, and now glass in hand I am about to run a very big bath and have a soak.but before I do - what excitement here.

Today has been a d...

News from the Shed. The muddy fun of rebuilding a house. Tuesday, December 9, 2008. It has been a while! Well not sure where to start here. In keeping with my usual theme - let's do the weather! The other week the winter arrived and we were freezing! Sounds ridiculous that living in a house without central heating that I should be cold.but the cold weather appeared with such a shock - we were not ready! My god I was cold before! Living in our little shed and watching our roaring fire - it was unreal last...

News from the Shed: Sunk!
http://newsontheshed.blogspot.com/2009/01/sunk.html
News from the Shed. The muddy fun of rebuilding a house. Saturday, January 24, 2009. The boat has gone down! Don't worry no hands on deck just the most amazing amount of rain. The fact that we may have to wait til the summer now to be able to see it again as the river shrinks and dries up, well that is not so good! I had to break the news to the boys yesterday as Alf has a friend coming to play specifically to have a go in the motor boat - they both thought it was hysterical. Trusting you are all well,.

News from the Shed. The muddy fun of rebuilding a house. Sunday, December 14, 2008. I have just been pulling the house apart (doesn't take long in a bijou little residence like this) but I have been hunting the camera.seems to have been taken my Mr Turtle - not my pet name for J - but rather the chap who lived here before.so why the search for the snapper. The boys have broken up for the holidays now and I am feeling slightly queasy having just spent the last 20 mins licking paper chains! Today felt a li...

News from the Shed. The muddy fun of rebuilding a house. Sunday, July 13, 2008. The car movie club. We have a new mantlepiece! The only slightly odd thing about my new piece of furniture is that it is in the back of Big Blue John the Second - the car! I nearly exploded with pride this week as Wednesday night both boys polished to the nines and Chas with clean (and blowdried! So the beginning of 6 weeks adventure begins. To keep you in the loop she is Celine because she is French with a big nose). They pl...

News from the Shed: Where did that summer go...?
http://newsontheshed.blogspot.com/2008/10/where-did-that-summer-go.html
News from the Shed. The muddy fun of rebuilding a house. Tuesday, October 14, 2008. Where did that summer go? As you can see this blogging took a back seat as fun and sun took hold over the summer. I don't even know where to start. So some simple highlights:. A scorching hot holiday in Spain. Every weekend at the Caravan, suspending the reality of work by leaving at 6am on a Monday to get to town in time. Feeling shattered but happy at work until a sausage sandwich took hold. J setting up a football club.
