Shed

Just after we moved to Samford Lee had a shed that had to be moved from a block of land to make way for new units - so Roger and Tom and Alec dismantled it and stored it in bits until Roger had a couple of weeks of holidays spare this year and put it up.

In all honesty I was amazed that all the bits could still be found and nothing had rusted away.

But now, here it is standing as a testament to keeping things that I would probably have thrown out and as a monument to all things manly.

Max has his own workbench - which made Louisa cry and so now she will have one too. It is a treasure trove of tools with a TV and a spot for a model train track.

There's a John Williamson song that goes "All Australian boys need a shed, a place where they can go , a place to clear their heads, think about the things his woman said" and so on - except that I am pretty sure that every thing I have said goes straight out of their heads the moment they walk through the door of that shed!
