The ultimate guide to sheds from the renowned presenter of Shed and Buried.

When it comes to truly finding out who you are and what makes you tick, there is one thing that needs no online subscription to a cloud-based server with a password you keep forgetting. That, my friend, is a shed.

Your shed is your refuge. It's the place where you go when you need a break from this mad, crazy world. But a shed can only help you if it's not attached to the house. The minute you attach the shed to the gaff, or confuse the concept of a shed with the concept of a conservatory, or a home office or a Shepherd's Hut, you're doing yourself over. You're never, ever going to get spiritual enlightenment in a lean-to. That's like going to find yourself in Thailand, and staying in the airport.

You need to make that pilgrimage to the bottom of the garden. Whether you're walking down a muddy track or crunching along a perfect gravel path, you have to get out of the house. Breathe in the fresh air. Then pull open the door, grapple for the light switch, fire up the heaters and turn on the kettle.

Once you're inside the four walls of your shed, you can do whatever you like. You're the king in there.

A bit of a random subject to write a book about but a fun listen. Some very interesting opinions going into depth of everything involved in owning a shed and most hit the nail on the head. I was happy in my garage but now I feel like I need to go to the garden with a tape measure!

Light hearted Henry Cole humour and shed facts.

Henry could rant for England. His Royally Majestic discourse will inspire potential sheddwellers. Great listen.

very natural, humorous delivery from Old King Cole

Now I admit I’m a bit of a HC fan, all of his Tv programmes that I’ve watched have always been interesting and educational.
I’m going to replay this book again and again I suspect, as there are so many things that I can relate to.
Uplifting and thought provoking book. Well done HC & TS!
Part 2 on the way maybe?

A Wonderful Book
