A Room of One's Own Day: How to relax and reflect

Published: 25/01/2019

While the roots of this day might date back to 1928, when Virginia Woolf wrote her famous ‘A Room of One’s Own’ essay, the modern age has fully embraced the idea that a little bit of alone time can offer you a lot, including helping you to relax and reflect. Getting some piece and quiet, and a little space, can sometimes be a very difficult challenge. How many times have we settled in to read a book, indulge in a little bit of creativity, or even just eat some cake in front of the telly without being interrupted by kids, pets, spouses or the ‘ding’ of a phone alert. A Room of Ones Own Day is the one day a year when you can indulge in any (or all!) of these activities, guilt-free. What better way to make sure the day is un-interrupted than making use of your shed! A space to relax and find some time all of your own is within reach…see for yourself!
