member|I lost my wife at the beginning of 2022 and later in the year my
inner motivation was declining. I joined the shed at the end of
January 2023 to help try and get back some of that motivation.
The projects I am working on for myself I could carry out at home
but whether I would is a different matter.
I thoroughly enjoy my visits to the Shed, the camaradrerie, the chat,
the friendly banter, the help and advice freely given when needed.
The shed has given me something to look forward to and I have
hardly missed a session since I started.
The shed has definitely been a positive step for me.
