The shed remembers man things- tools and screws a place for everything everything in its place The garden walls remember studs of purple flowers disembodied voices of the neighbours the world kept at bay - - - - - - All the things around the house have some stories to tell.A stunning write about fond memories of childhood.

If you live in a house for a long period of time, you get attached to the house. Each part of the house, the door, the hall, the rooms are all filled with memories. Even objects in the house have a story to tell. Beautifully written. Congratulations Sheena!
