Superior garden shed

Logging onto my email this Friday morning, I find an advertisement from Dunster House, who would like to sell me a superior garden shed, the Titania, roughly 25 feet by 10 feet. In the end-of-plague clearance sale, so mine for just £12,704.99 including VAT a saving of roughly £1,479 on the regular price of £14,184. The price of perhaps a dozen staycations, Toller-style, excluding extras like fine dining.

Presumably sized so as not to need cranes, planning permissions, building regulations or anything like that. We are told a lot about insulation and something about security, but nothing about lighting or drainage. Which last should include doing something about the rain on the roof even if, as it appears, there is no internal plumbing. Maybe the proposition is that it arrives flat packed so all that sort of thing is down to you. I remember that when FIL bought his garage from Marley, perhaps sixty years ago now, mainly ready-made concrete panels to be bolted together, you could pay an extra few pounds if you wanted them to erect it. He elected to save the few pounds - and went on to regret having done so, as getting the roof on was a bit of a struggle, involving both BH and her mother.

And there is quite a variety. So if you don't fancy this one, you can have the Helena or the Terminator, amongst others. The former suggesting that someone in the company has heard of the Midsummer Night's Dream. As it happens, the play of the year in the first year of my secondary school. But how did the salesman - woman - at Dunster get there?

We with stick with our staycations.
