Hi all — Does anyone want these electric scales? Barely used — unwanted present! Debs

  • Yes please Debs! When can I collect? — Angie
  • In all afternoon, Angie! No 72. — Debs
  • Thanks! Will do. — Angie
  • Not for me, thanks Debs — we’re still using the lovely traditional cast-iron scales that my sister-in-law (a chef) gave us last year from Paris. Stackable weights, enamelled finish. Industrial chic and a real workhorse! — Sonja

Does anyone know whose van this is? It was there same time last week. The man seems to be doing a regular recce of our road. He has a ponytail. Peter

Look out for this woman (pic). She was sniffing my begonias this morning in a very suspicious way. Gertie

  • Thanks for the update Gertie! No begonias here, but do feel free to stop and enjoy…
