About building blanket forts

"What is it about sheds that is so appealing? Do they remind us of the hiding plsces, of our childhood, when we made dens out of anything and everything, whereever we could, turning bunk beds, pscking cases, ruined walls, and hedges into our own secret places, and lost ourselves in the world of our imagination?
As we sit in our centrally heated houses, amid the trappings of consumerism, do we, as adults, crave the simpler life? Is there a collective primal memory of a more elemental existence that gives us direct contact with the few things we need in order to live? When we enter our sheds, we see a table, a chair, a bench, boxes of tools, seeds, a simple stove, a tea kettle. We can pretend, play, create, be ourselves, and find freedom from the paraphernalia of everyday contemporary life."
