Rough Notes for a Rough Shed

Working notes
Rough Notes For A Rough Shed is taken from my Limbo Lovelies. These are rough workings and drafts that never made it into the final version of a text (in this case Escafeld Hangings) not because I was dissatisfied with them but because they didn't fit into the overall scheme of the final version. Occasionally one of them is realised from Limbo. This is one such.
