Regular visitors will know that intheboatshed.net likes to celebrate sheds and the quality of shedness from time to time.

So here are some photos of a shed to swoon over – a boathouse belonging to friends of ours, guarded over by a group of goats.

Julie and I think it’s probably Edwardian, but whatever it is, it’s really rather special – as is the goat that guards it as his own.

  1. You seem to have an amazing talent for bringing up childhood memories. I vividly remember my family taking shelter in a boathouse just like this on the Thames a couple of miles upstream of Wallingford, back in the 1950s. We were out in my grandparents double skiff for a picnic, and got caught in the most dramatic thunderstorm, so we slipped into the shed for the duration.

  2. As long as they're good ones Chris…

    I think this one would be ok to shelter in, but I wouldn't trust those landings – have you seen how slender they are at the waterline?
