Ted The Shed, Chapter 14 - Velveteen Visitor

It is summer 2011. Unrealistic TV gardening programmes become addictive and Mandy has an injury that prevents her from working on the plot. She must learn to sit and enjoy the delights of nature - like the mole who is digging up all her vegetables and the three little pigs who arrive on a nearby plot and eat everything in sight.

I laughed out loud and almost woke my husband at your dad’s response to the tv shows, and a devotion to the weather! Another similarity with my dear old dad. Thank you Mandy!💜🌟

Wonderfully thoughtful as always. I find myself thinking back to the time this takes place and remembering what I was doing in life while you and your dad were doing this. It’s a very calming and reflective moment in my day. Thank you. Also… British Home Stores… I haven’t heard that in a long time!

Another delightful chapter, putting me to sleep but then enjoyed in its entirety the next day. Mandy, I’m trying to picture your Dad as an actual weather personality on the local telly. Oh, I would have tuned in every night to catch that! 😅Lots of happenings at the Allotment! But ouchy gardening is no fun, bugger! Thank you! 🥰

I love this story! I have had injuries that interfere with my hobbies. I think this is a great story to listen to. 🩷🫵

Every chapter of this memoir is both funny and touching. I love it.
