I snook this picture of NAH hard at work this morning, finally getting to grips with the new roof for the shed. Unfortunately I've not been able to persuade him a living roof is the way to go in spite of you all lobbying for this option the last time. This is probably a never to be repeated photograph as we've taken the decision not to post pictures of ourselves or family on here. However, I hope I can get away with this one...Update - Alex over at Shedworking has put a version of this post on his website. Do go and have a look at the goodies there - it's guaranteed to induce shed envy!
What a gorgeous shed VP !
ReplyDeleteI cover our ugly one with Engelmann Ivy .. so .. it is sort of a living roof when it comes to life in Spring ? .. but I know what you mean .. planting with "House Leeks" .. or Hen's & Chicks .. and other hardy succulents .. looks so pretty as is though !

PS .. I think your shed looks better than my house ? JEEZ !
Your shed does look like a house! I like its location and the landscaping around it.
ReplyDeleteAh, a living roof would be so cool, but no doubt a lot of work.
Your shed looks too good for a shed, more like a posh person's summerhouse. Will you have a primus stove to brew up in there? x
ReplyDeleteYour shed is wonderful and I know you are going to love it. I got my first one last year after waiting over 40 years of marriage. I was dancing for joy and I smiled every time I entered the door. I can't wait to get out in it again. I know just how excited you must be. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteThat shed just got cooler. I am going to show it to my man again. I want one.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a shed - it's a palace!
ReplyDeleteJoy - I'm sure your house is lovely really.
ReplyDeleteKate - thanks for the compliments. the shed started life as a blob on our garden design plan called 'Thing'!
Louise - it's quite close to the house, so we brew up as usual in the kitchen. Shedworld (I kid you not) in Bristol rather grandly called it a Summerhouse, NAH and I call it our Shed with Windows!
Jane Marie - I love it in there. Just need to tidy it up a bit though...
Deb - I just know you're going to get 1 of these. I hope it's soon!
Dragonstar - thank you! It's not bad is it?
Hi VP
ReplyDeleteIs the shed where you blog from? A good place for inspiration and relaxation me thinks.
I notice what look like two Skimmia in pots in front of your shed.
I hope you don't mind me saying but they look a little deficient in iron/magnesium.
A good place to dump your coffee/tea drges :)
All th best and keep up the good work.
Phil
Blimey, what a stunning shed you got there! Are you sure it's just a shed? Respect! Both for the shed and your wonderful blog. Happy Easter from the wintery Mediterranean!
ReplyDeleteA job well done !
ReplyDeleteHi Philip - no I blog from our study and look out wistfully at the shed and garden
ReplyDeleteVioltje - welcome! Are you the person from Croatia that's been lurking recently? I see you're doing well in the Top100 Gardening blogs too!
Anna - thanks, but NAH needs to take the credit really!
