Alone in my . . . shed

Recently spotted by one of our undercover blokes, this publication should be on everyone's Yuletide Gift list.

As the blurb on Amazon says "The Joy of Sheds is a shed miscellany that chronicles man's need for a small space on his own. It's a humorous look at every aspect of the shed experience, mixed with shed facts and some practical information too. Many famous people have created in sheds. Inventor Trevor Baylis thought up the clockwork radio in a shed, George Bernard Shaw wrote Pygmalian (sic) in one and Dylan Thomas would compose poetry in his."

And indeed, a bloke's shed can be a very inspiring place, witness the beautiful, haunting and plaintively evocative piece written for BlokeFest by Roger Jackson as can be found on one of our many SoundClouds.

If you have any tales from or photos of you in your shed, we would be very pleased to receive them via themagnificentak47@gmail.com.

  1. Misread the above initially as, "Many famous people have (been) created in sheds".
