I said I was moving this newsletter in the new year to a new newsletter platform,

So welcome! To Substack!

Shed of the year 2023

We are open, you probably know this as you got an email from me.

Anyway, I want to show you a few of the recent entries, so it will get you in the mood to finish your own shed and enter this year.

As you can imagine we always get Pub Sheds entered early doors, so here are a few of the entrants, all unique

The Hidden Shed - "From the outside it looks like one of the net drying sheds in Hastings, black lap board and two windows. Very low-key, and you can hardly see it from the house." Workshop/Studio - Oxfordshire #shedoftheyear owned by Nick Alderson readersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?shar… #Ark

This is a new Shed from a previous winner, Walter from the Inshriach Gin Shed, who won Shed of the year all the way back in the distant past of 2015.
