It's officially Shed Week! I know because Jamie Theakston and Emma B were going on about it this morning on Heart breakfast show. No, I don't know why I was listening to that. Maybe I was hoping for sentimental reasons to hear some vintage S Club.
In tribute to everyone involved, especially Alex (whose love I badly want to buy) and Esther (whose crayola shed brings many admiring glances) I would like to present to you my Number 1 Hampton Court shed choice, as backed up by some small boys from a local primary school.
It's an "Authentic Arctic Shed", so don't go thinking it's just some rubbish from Homebase. They're called "Kotas" by the Sami, who take them down and put them up again a number of times a year. They are also, according to the importers, incredibly warm because of the way they're insulated and due to the central stove.
Apparently you can seat 16 adults, and sleep six. The small boy standing nearest to me said, "Wow, I could have that as my house." And he was correct. Though I suspect he would technically need his parents' permission.
