June 9 Architect's 'sophisticated shed'

on Thursday 9 June 2011
There were four of us and we were invincible in our youth.
We went throught the yellow trees, following a line we'd drawn on an ordanance survey map. And then we saw it, in a clearing, all clean lines and glass panels, scandinavian details in the nooks, our treasure.
We opened the door
Then we climbed the steps
Then we avoided the room that Simon Le Bon and and Nick Rhodes were skulking in.

(Bring me the hammer, bring me the hammer)
Then we did stuff, lots of stuff, noises were heard for miles, the sound of us doing things, noisy things.
Then we climbed back up the steps
Then we opened the door again, this time the other way, to the outside
and then we got into the car and went back to town.

Fourteen months later Duran Duran wrote Wild Boys and I was on my way to Hull, our paths would never cross again.
