Ted The Shed, Chapter 22 - Projects

Fast forward a couple of years, and we are all beginning to notice the effects of aging, especially in Dad. He is still driving at 93 and takes me for a trip in his car to the supermarket in the next town. It is very memorable - for all the wrong reasons.

Don't forget to check out the playlist of Ted the Shed, regularly updated.

Appearing soon on Premium is The Wind In The Willows by Kenneth Grahame.

Thank you Mandy for sharing this wonderful story with us. Your father reminds me so much of mine. My father was a farmer, very strong and independent, and very very tight with money. I'm enjoying hearing about your father's allotment. I'm just up to the chapter where he has hit another car and made a runner. How wonderful in a funny but terrible way. I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the book. I've been enjoying some of your other narrations recently. I loved The Enchanted April as you may remember from my review. I am recovering from surgery and cannot read at the moment and need to rest so I am especially thankful at this time to have your wonderful stories to listen to while I am in bed early each night recuperating. Thanks again ♥️

👍👏😀Congratulations Mandy on your literary award! I will look it up! I could feel the horror of the car ride, car accident and getaway! Not easy 😔😩

What a roller coaster chapter! Congratulations on your award - there is no surprise you won, your writing is so heartfelt and delightful - and your dads excitement made my heart so happy. I just know he continues to be so proud of you. My heart sank at the end - what a cliff hanger - the conversation that must have followed would have been a tough one. Looking forward to the next chapter as always xx

I am touched by your story, and delivery. Your writing gift along with all the hard work resulting in a loving, real life experience (with emotions) being shared. The character of your father is something I’ve seen in my childhood but not so much today. Your love and pain along with patience comes across wonderfully, I see your father adjusting to the new world he’s in too. Thinking about the world he grew up in. Much blessings your way. I listen and have tears knowing your family and stories you share. Big thanks 😊 🍆🍎🐕

Oh dear! Time to take the car keys away! Always a tough decision. We just had to do it with my 82 year old brother. He was not happy! But necessary for everyone’s safety. ,,, but I love how Mr MS has figured out how to enjoy the allotment on his own terms. 🙏🏻😊📖❤️
