Hi Darren, I'm trying to convince my son to buy a container rather than a flimsy tin foil shed, you know the type. Like Bill said they can be made nice secure too.

had to do that work thing My attendance at the last 2-3 Weds live-streams was interrupted by work. So I quit that job. Priorities. (Might be hungry next year though).

Go, go, go Louis! 👍

@clinton Does the weather ever get cold where you are

@boo Think you have missed the boat, should have gone last year. It might be a while before there is anywhere to go

I missed the livestream too..... had to do that work thing to pay for things like rent, food, leccy, wood .... watching ot now. I've already emailed SantaCarol to make sure I'm not on the naughty lis...
