Shed-dwelling....

We are now safely esconced in our latest temporary home in the shed in the field. By shed I should clarify this is not some dark, poky, spider-infested place of garden tools and old lawnmowers, but a rather large - and shiny new - timber building put up by Ian and Roger as a garage, and possible future office. Who needs a house?

Here I am in the kitchen section cooking our first meal. Nothing to it - a kettle, fridge, camping stove, slow cooker, microwave, toaster........and all the appliances to rival any real domestic goddess, including as you can see my own wheelbarrow and shovel. All we are missing is a sink with taps and an oven. But Roger'll sort that out tomorrow. The patch of turquoise on the floor is not some trendy new rug from Ikea but a painting accident by my very own eco-husband who was using up old tins he found in the cupboard. The dining room.....
This is the warm room - a fully insulated 'bedsit', which by the end of today even has a phone line. The computer will soon be moving over so normal communications can resume.

And while on the subject of insulation (clearly an obsession at the moment) Barney even has his own little piece of celotex with his 'double bed' on top. Concrete can be cold for poor little indoor, underfloor heated puppy dogs.....
