I'd love to say new deluxe brewshed but it's going to be an art studio for my wife and three daughters - we need space for overflow from the house !

Sounds great
Maybe you can sneak a beer fridge in behind some easels 
Great weather for building sheds.

Went to work this morning.
Lazy afternoon.
Then off to the football with 10,000 other people.
It's our remembrance day tomorrow so they played the last post & the national anthem.
As it was finishing they cut to a shot of the crowd. Me & my mate. If only they'd known they were showing a couple of Poms on the big screen.
Drew 2-2. Excellent game.
Home now for a few beers.

Made a beer (MJ Irish red ale) cleaned my golf clubs, played 18 holes of golf with my old boss and beat him hands down. Got home and made a lamb and mushroom tikka with pilau rice, great weather and the course was in great condition.

Transferred the MYO Rosé into a keg. It's lovely and sweet. Dangerous in the sun at 14% ish 
Fitted some more cans to the pubshed roof and fitted some struts to the hatch. It's coming along 🏚
Putting another Cooper's European lager into the Fermenter King later. First batch was well received by a limited number of garden visitors

Certainly got to use it over the past week with the good weather though still nippy at night but a great retreat and well worth the effort.That's looking great @Gerryjo
Another rose this time a climber from the pound shop planted and some bark put down to keep out the moss especially from my Prima Donna hops.
Now that we have no rabbits I can get something done with the back garden as I've sowed some wild flowers again as I think the frost and cold weather may have affected those I had sown in March though an odd one has came up with the dandelions and daisies.
The green area behind the swing is where I want wild flowers to grow as I think it will be nice for the bees and insects and give a wild meadow look to the garden though shall try and keep the grass down to let them grow.

We're down in Torbay and today we went to Shaldon the picture is Teignmouth across the estuary. It was sunny but the wind was icy. Booked a car park ticket for 2 hours left after one.
Lovely in pictures but I know how it feels when the breeze cuts into you.Gets you out and about though.View attachment 45914

Shaldon is great! No good though if you can't get down to your knickers and get in the water!View attachment 45914

Had a busy day! Finished planting the potatoes down the allotment...and done a bit of larking about!
Then a bit of planting and repotting (ahem!) at home...

Nice. Reminds me of my old man's poly tunnel except he's trying to bring on his honda GL1100
I'm sure he'll replace the Honda with tomatoes soon 
Finished the decking after 3 weekends on it. Newer, longer, wider!
Before (well I had started tearing it down before taking a photo)
Almost 17 years after first build, I stripped down the deck. Removed the redundant front step and replaced suspect joists. Neighbour helped put the decking boards down (the easy bit). Two weekends later fence and gate built, facing boards added with plenty mitred joints, and balustrade made.
After:
Thirsty work!
