Back in #Dorset after a busy week at #RHSChelseaFlowerShow My take on it, as ever, is of the world class level of endeavour by the RHS team, designers, contractors and exhibitors who all set up with the shared objective to create something perfect.

@MickPuck My first concert was Clannad, in the Robin of Sherwood era, in Poole. Saw Clannad twice there, and got a photo with her after a concert in Yeovil not long ago. Big part of my life, the Clannad albums over the years.

Travel on well, Maire from Clannad. What a lovely lady you were.

It was an early start getting this #cabin, on temporary castors, out of the door, craned onto the wagon and then craned into position on site. #tinyhouse #Dorset #shepherdshut

The huts we make are getting bigger, this English oak clad hut is in its final stages before delivery on Monday

It actually takes your breath away as this #oak T&G lining goes into this kitchen / diner / living room hut. It has a separate shower room hut and a bedroom / bunk room both in our sawn boards ‘Watermill’ interior

New leather key fobs by Rag of Colts are lovely - made from old leather saddles and tack

Like the old days, Andrew and Gary just loaded up - it’s nice to be able to deliver a hut by small trailer sometimes, this Privy is off to West Sussex. Towed by an Ineos Grenadier these days

Such a nice hut this; overspill #accommodation with shower room, king-sized bed and full kitchen. #gardenroom

Just amazing these huts that we are creating these days.

New #design added to our portfolio of #huts plankbridge.com/accommodation/…

Today’s hut delivery could be called ‘Far out, dude’ Probably the most adventurous colour scheme to date but it works. #shepherdshut

Just found Dave Morris’ book on #shepherdshuts and #livingvans - I took the cover photo, it’s one of our first huts back in the pioneer days - must be 17 plus years ago I reckon

Dipping our toes into Twitter again with news from the workshop floor. Some interesting huts in production. Yesterday we sent one up to the Lake District, hut number five to a lovely holiday venue Crabtree in the Woods.

@higgledygarden That’s interesting that you asked that question, I was thinking the same. Someone will be telling him to rein it in I would have thought. I liked Twitter and I’m hoping it will see sense, I’m tentatively having a look after months away. If it’s still loopy then back to Bluesky

Dear Twitter chums, Has Elon stopped being political on here? Is it safe to come back? Love Higgers and Flash

@letterappsoc @The_RHS Wow, I will let you know if it makes it! And write back of course

Sometimes the fun is in the trying. Fingers crossed it finds them at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show… ☺️🌺✉️

Made in #Dorset - delivered #Worldwide The #Garden Privy ~ The Loo with a View

We’ve been working on subtle yet important tweaks to the website. There are so many uses of a hut! Also we looked at indicative pricing - did you know that a 20’ self-catering hut in Plankbridge Classic spec can come in at £49,800 and uplifts to Custom spec with bespoke additions

I’m liking this oak table top with its quarter-sawn boards and breadboard ends.

Even the plumbing is a well-crafted work of art. Plumber Paul has done a brilliant job on this one.
