If you go down to the sheds today…
As I have explained number four has been greatly blessed with sheds. All are homemade and come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
The general way of things at number four was that as each room reached capacity with belongings, a shed was constructed to hold some more. This continued for over forty years and as time passed the sheds became more elaborate and ingenious. I particularly like the shed made from Victorian doors and I am also keen on the shed on stilts( why this is I do not know but it kind of reminds me a Thai holiday hut - in Sarf East London of course).
Today I have rummaged through just a couple of these sheds. What a haul! More Bakelite than you could shake a stick at and in all guises - switches, finger plates, pull cords, door bells and fans and so on.
Should anyone need a bicycle then I have about half a dozen and any number of tyres, pedals and spare parts. Or how about some scaffolding - all shapes and sizes and lots of boards too. Perhaps a fire grate, we have twenty at last count. Lots of suitcases everywhere, some with full sets of clothing seemingly abandoned after the last holiday.
Tomorrow I shall open some more.
