When we first took on the allotment - back in May 2006 - there was lots of "junk" lying about the place which included the top parts of two old plastic barrels.
Fred immediately appropriated these bits of blue plastic finery and announced that they were his shop.
Many happy hours were then spent by this little boy in his new "building".
But over time we forgot about Fred's Shop because it was no longer around.
So can you imagine his glee when 3 years later he found it again!
The only problem is that he's grown rather a lot since then!
But it's still a great place for a quiet read
- especially if you bury your favourite Beast Quest books under a pile of grass and then sit on them!

Have I ever told you how much I love my allotment?

We had a similar conversation at work the other day. There was a rather large cardboard box!
Thanks for sharing pictures and memories. It's good to be young.
Awwww, bless him. Little boys do love somewhere to hide don't they? No.2 knows all the best hiding places in our home.

What a FABULOUS shop. I remember as a child playing in cardboard boxes at the back of our shop. I could sit and hide in them for hours. What great photos of the big and little "fred"
Children are just about the only thing that grow faster than weeds, it seems.
How fun! What a very clever little guy Fred is!
Fred looks fabulous!!
No wonder he's growing so much if you keep sitting him in a compost bin.
