and within minutes

i can go back to being six or seven or eight again.’

  1. I’d like a writer’s hut. Even though I am lucky to have a “room of my own” to write in but a hut would be lovely.
    I like that Shaw had his phone not just for emergencies but to get food. Wonderful. Only a man would have that sort of service.
    Dylan Thomas has a hut too and I think he also expected his long suffering wife to bring him food and drink there but to keep their children away!!!

  13. For writing? Or to avoid people Beth? And it followed the sun. I think that’s my kind of hut! Now mine would need air conditioning and heat. I’m kind of a wimp about those things. Maybe a stocked refrigerator too. Maybe a big screen TV to take a writing break and to watch the game. Oh forget the TV — then it might attract people. Ha ha, I’m kidding! 🤭🤭🤭🤭😎📖📖📝

  17. I had a garden room installed a year and a half ago. It’s my own space, everything there is for me. I recently bought a small recliner chair for the room, so it, my laptop tray, and my laptop give me the complete writing-in-isolation setup.

  20. What a gem he created for himself. How prolific he must’ve been.

    I love the idea of a turntable home. I have a former colleague who bought a home in PEI, Canada, and runs it as a bed and breakfast. Such a novel idea!
