Ok - thanks for this. I'll live with an extension for now, and get an electrician in when we have some work done in a couple of months.
You sound like you know what you're talking about. Given a socket in the garden (in a waterproof box), is it possible to run a cable off that to the shed and then have a little fuse box inside the shed on the end of that cable. The alternative would be I guess to run a cable from the main fuse box to the shed, but that would be much trickier to route.
I'm looking at running an armoured cable to the back of the garden too - for which I'll be getting a sparky - and have an external socket.
I seem to recall reading that I can't have a cable run off a spur - hopefully, I can have the cable run through the same path as the external socket though.
