So how did the Auster Aiglet get it's name then, Dean?  I don't think it has anything to do with shoelaces, that's for sure. And yes, I did have to look up Aglet. But I didn't have to look up Auster Aiglet. The next word is an easy one: Perambulator

^ no not the cushions, you can have as many of them as you need, the antimacassar - you don't need one of them. 
/edit ooo - antimacassar - that'll send non-grey roomers off into the land of google - next week's word is aglet.

Well I can also smell Jim's voluminous gases... and that's before I even step through the front door! And why does a shed have two doors and an additional lean-to for the smokers? This isn't a shed at all, is it?

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Erm... I don't mean to crush everyones feelings, but that's not a shed I see before me. Via Wikipedia -- The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) defines sheds as a "slight structure
built for shelter or storage, or for use as a workshop, either a
separate building or attached to a permanent building as a lean-to;
often with open front or sides." So erm... what is it then? This "Shed" has comfy wicker chairs, a chaise longue (for Jim to nod off on, after a long day), poofs. a bar and two en suite bathrooms! so it's not a workshop or a storage facility at all! I smell a conspiracy!

I agree - that one's still got the special "protective" covering on it in case of any more little "accidents"

cool Rach, as long as they don't match ... wouldn't want the place to look like a Laura Ashley showroom.

I thought this was the old shed?
(see what I mean? from the kitchen I have no idea what the place looks like from the outside!)
I'll run up some curtains for Shed #2 when I get a moment, cushion covers too?

ha ha ha!
Fab pictures one and all! Jim, you're just trying to make us jealous............ and it's working! Nice Iceberg!
Oh wise mystic one, great holiday snaps! I hope you weren't wearing socks with your sandals!
I am very impressed to see "the shed" from the outside, I usually only get the view from the inside of the kitchen |

Great photos, Jim! Looks like Peter and yourself had great fun. Angelo, I've lost track a bit... is this company your setting up in reference to what we discussed last year, or is it something else? If it is the same idea, then let me know if you need any help or advice. Also, good luck with that.
