The Shed

You are soooooo lucky Vicky has a day off today so won't be looking in on The Shed for a couple of weeks

Should give you just enough time to have a cast iron man-vegetables protector made up

pfft - a dab or two of creosote and it'll be as good as new.

About a quarter of a mile a way there is a set of traffic lights with filter lanes.To avoid this,many drivers use our road as a 'rat run'. to get onto the A30 road which is the main road towards the West Country. We live at the end of the 'rat run' on the corner of a cross road. There have been many incidents over the passed 10 years including one near fatality.Surrey County Council refuse to listen to residents appeals for traffic calming measures.Bl**dy wealthy councils!!!

Having been to your house, Lee, I know exactly what you mean.

Awful news and quite obviously a shock to your system.

'(unless you can find a convenient fjord)'

I can find a Land Rover that someone has written off.Put the deceased shed into that and then send off Viking stylee.

Cheers,Rach.

I'm hopeful that things will be sorted out asap.

Whoa - that was some impact then

Well your shed looks a bit buggered, but possibly salvageable, but I think you can safely say your compost bin is (in the technical language favoured by insurers) completely fed!

What I don't understand is the container on the left... did you give it a kicking out of sheer frustration, or did it fall over from shock?

The driver who was respnsible looked like an ageing Goth.Jet black,back-combed hair standing about two feet above her forehead....Or was that the effect of the crash?

Sorry to hear about that,Steve. Bar-stewards!

The last time that something similar happened to us,the driver was driving her partner's car and wasn't on his insurance.

We had about 6 witnesses and the driver admitted responsiblity.

She said that she did not see the give way sign.She did not know the area.She was going to have a fitting for a new dress....Her dress maker lives at the end of our road.Suffice to say,whilst she was waiting for her car to be recovered,she went for her fitting!

^ last time something like that happened to me I didn't think to take a bloody photograph of the scene.  I had three camera's with me at the time
