Shed (or Summerhouse) progress!! ;-)



A 'stay at home' weekend, was the order of the day.

I wasn't allowed to go out to play!



And so this is where we went..

Camping in the garden, without a tent!



They say when the sun's out, you should make hay.

As the weather was kind , we beavered away!




We've yet to do the doors, windows and frames.

And yesterday was fun as we thought about names!



'Snippets Corner' appeals to me!

I'm longing to invite friends here, for tea!



He climbed the ladder and painted the side.

Whilst she took an hour off to nip inside.



And sew the curtains, floral and bright!

Then put them up..they look just right!



A few fave posters hung in place,

All carefully done... cos it's not a race.






More to follow.. rugs, chairs, throws, hooks.

And somewhere to sit those favourite, old books!

We're getting there slowly,whatever the weather!

'Snippets Corner' is coming together!

  3. Snippet's Corner is just right ... after all, George Bernard had Shaw Corner, did he not? What a pretty garden hut this will be, all you will need now is time to enjoy it. I shall immediately order that the clocks be changed to 28 hours a day, so you can have four extra hours a day to spend as you please in your lovely summerhouse!

  4. It looks lovely! I can't wait to have a little quiet haven in the garden but must finish landscaping the garden first...Quite a way to go yet as it has to be all dug up to re-route the sewage pipes which we have found out have been put in the wrong place!

    'Summer house' is more the lingo.

    I wish I had one just like you.
    Lovely. Enjoy! xx

  9. Saturday, Dearest, the Test is on
    But No! to the corner I am gone
    With me ladder and me brush
    Decorating, all in a rush

    First the back, then each side,
    Then the doors opened wide
    How about a coffee dear?
    Not till you're finished, is that clear?

    Sun, relentlessly shining down below
    Paint brushes flying to and fro
    I'm off to sew curtains, I'll be just a minute
    Back an hour later, typical innit?

    Eventually , allowed a sit down
    But still no cricket, just my frown
    Do you like these curtains? Fix the wire
    No not there, up a little higher

    Why do you need the doors off?
    Why can't I have a try?
    Here's the brush I'm off
    England v India on Sky

    Get back here! and have some lunch
    A torpedo roll of salad crunch
    And some bickies with your coffee
    Now what do you suggest we name our bothy

    Hally's Holt? no, cos I won't be allowed in
    To skive and rest with tonic and gin
    Nor plum pie, like Jacky Horner
    Let's just settle for Snippets Corner

  10. I'm sitting in my little bolt hole now. Even in the cold, snowy weather two fan heaters kept me toasty. You'll never be out of it! Its looking really cosy.

  13. Cricket over, we've beaten the world's best
    And so I wend my way, to our love nest
    Down to the corner, I sneak unseen
    Now, doors and windows all painted green
    Flats and edges plus all the joints
    Now I wonder if I'll get any brownie points

    PS for green read some poncy fashion name that costs £5 a gallon more

  14. It looks wonderful. Already so inviting. Enjoy every minute. More photos please of Snippet's Corner. "A room of her own..." I must admit a bit of envy here.
