Shed envy

This is our shed. It's lovely our shed. It's wooden and, full of, you know, shed stuff. It's old, it's on a slant and it lives at the end of the garden. Our neighbours have only gone and got themselves a great big metal shed and I've gone through a period of shed envy. However, it's gone (the envy, not the shed). The neighbour's shed is big, metal and green and therefore classified as not a shed at all.

And I'm sure your neighbour's sged has utterly no personality either! It sounds a real carbuncle!

Sorry. That should have been "shed" not "sged"...!

Don't be envious, it sounds like your neighbours don't have a shed. A shed by rights is like yours, made of old wood, on a slant and lives at the bottom of the garden.

I reckin your neighbours' 'shed' is coveting yours.

Clippy Mat Making at Beamish

Researching for my novel Pearl of Pit Lane I spent the day at Beamish Museum on a clippy mat workshop. And if you're wondering what a clippy mat is, it's also known as a proggy mat or a rag rug. The BBC puts it like this: Proggy mats were a common sight in working-class homes in the North East of England until the mid-20th Century. Made from old sacks and recycled fabric they were an economical option to keep feet warm and toasty in an era before fitted carpets were the norm. I remember my grandma had proggy mats in her house and I also remember her making them, but I was never interested back then in learning how to make my own. As Ione of my characters in my novel makes proggy mats, I could have read about how to make them or even watched on YouTube, I wanted to discover for myself what the process felt like, smelt like, sounded like. And so I booked myself on to a workshop at Beamish Museum, a place I love to visit. There were six of us on the proggy mat workshop...
