How to move your garden office

We talked recently about what to do with your garden office when you move house. Catherine Casey of Surrey/Hampshire-based Market Inroads which supplies SMEs with marketing direction and support points out there is a simple solution..."Reading about the predicament of Klaus and Heidi I would like to mention that there is a way of being able to take your office with you when you move house," she writes. "My office is a shepherd’s hut made by Southdown and because it is on wheels I won’t have to leave it behind when I decide to move." Pictured below is Catherine at work in her shedlike atmosphere.
It's been a while since we discontinued Shepherd's Hut Tuesday but it's worth a return visit if this is the kind of shedworking you might enjoy.

Shedworking book reviewed in The Independent

Today's Independent carries a long review of the Shedworking book by Jay Merrick (disclosure: I work for the newspaper though didn't talk to Merrick for the piece). Here's a snippet:

Shedworking's author, Alex Johnson, has cabin fever: he's positively messianic about sheddy virtues – and it's hard not to feel a frisson of anticipatory pleasure at the thought of settling down to work in, say, the Penthouse shed designed by Eco Green; or in a svelte, super-modernist OfficePOD; or in one of Room Outdoor's frightfully posh Cuberno garden offices. And here's what the anonymous blogger known as Man In A Shed had to say about his Damascene – and faintly politically incorrect – shed moment: "About five years ago, I found myself away from home, in a hotel room, for the first time since we had started a family. I suddenly realised I could hear myself think again. In short, I needed somewhere to hang out, a wooden cave."

You can read the whole piece, which is an Editor's Choice special pick, here.
