No, no! Don’t paint it! Not only will it lose its rustic beauty but it will die of shock and you’ll be shedless. Just pray to it, daily.

Perhaps we should paint it! That should make it good for another century at least

Yes, I realised after I hit the “post comment” thingy that Hadrian would have been quite lost, but sometimes these thoughts just pop into my head. Can’t be helped.
Apparently he had another wall somewhere in North Africa? Possibly no sheds there I’m thinking. (Also absurd, just roll your eyes, it’s OK.)

Um. That should be stubbornness.

There are definitely structures held up only by their paint, but looking at this shed I think it comes into the category of Minor Miracle. Or possibly stubborness.

Entirely possible. Although he’d have been a bit lost if he was heading this way

Did Hadrian erect that thing on his way through?

no, the bike has its own shed, which is a little more solid. Got my priorities straight…

Don’t put your bike under there then!

It’s the landlord’s lean to so I’m just planning to watch in fascination to see how long it can stay up like that (so far about 3 years and counting…)
