Cheers to Burgh Shed

Paul Blanksby shares some correspondence.

Hello to all at the Burgh Men’s Shed. Frances Laverack here, with a photo of my garden umbrella up for the first time this Spring.

Some good length of time ago, I brought it in to The Shed with a snapped spar, realising it might not be salvageable. But lo and behold! One of your talented crew painstakingly took all the complex mechanism apart and entirely replaced the broken element as new. Magic!

A big pat on the back and many thanks for keeping a vital piece of equipment going for a good while longer. All the best to everyone at The Shed.

Thank you, Frances, it was our pleasure.

Your Men’s Shed, practising the six Rs: Restore, Repair, Reimagine, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle … awesome.
