Just noticed your shed available to stay in, on Airb&b Mcmoonter. Looks fantastic. I'd love a stay if I was up your way...

I'm not wholly sure what we have let ourselves in for.

It's part of a Shed of the Year wheeze dreamed up by Channel 4. The Pool Hoose is only listed for a couple of days to fulfil their brief on airbnb

We have it listed on Warmshowers which I really enjoy, those that pedal here have earned their night's stay which is free. Touring cyclists are the nicest of folks who are always forgiving of our rustic amenities.

Yes I know her, she and Bob were tutors at the Edinburgh College of Art when I was there.

Bob died a few years ago. Liz is still in the fantastic cinema studio with the amazing view over the beach and the Forth

Ahha, my dad taught at ECA with them. I see Liz regularly, and knew Bob well. My sister was involved in the A2B project too.

I see. There are probably lots of familiar names in that case.
You must have been there at a similar time to Karen Forbes and so on. Donald Urquhart? Anne Bevan?

I knew Karen when she was still a student long before she became the head of school, Anne Bevan I knew from Orkney but I never rated her. Donald, I know the name but cant put a face to.

Kayak23, I hope you'll enter your allotment and riverside cabins. We need a STWer to vote for.

Yeah, I have entered it as it happens. Not the river shed though yet...maybe felt a bit much entering two sheds?

Ol' "Two Sheds" kayak, there. With his [i]two[/i] sheds... 🙄

Enter them both, they're both much better than either of the rotting sheds we had before a freak gust of wind hit at precisely the same time as an hour of work with a drill, screwdriver bit, lump hammer and pry bar.
