The tale of the unexpected shed

What was I saying last time about life getting in the way of modelling?

Since the last post on here (February 2019), various things have happened which have resulted in me having to move from the 2 bedroom shoebox in Atherton where I was living at the time, to a much larger 3 bedroom bungalow in Hindley Green.

Estate agents (and letting agents in the case of this rented property) are well known for being, how can I put it, ‘economical’ with the truth when it comes to describing their properties. Whilst the description of the bungalow, garage and driveway were accurate, they completely failed to mention a 12′ x 8′ shed in the back garden!

As all railway modellers know, a shed is a Good Thing, so it makes the omission of it from the agent’s advertising material all the more strange. I only discovered it when I came round to view the property in May. Although the shed is very welcome, it was unexpected, hence the title of this post.
