Sue Cadd: Unexpected visitors this afternoon!
Joyce Wainwright (31 March 2020): I’ve been clearing out my freezer (long overdue) chucking out stuff (long out of date -something – not sure what it was dated 2013 !!!) to make room for when I can shop myself.

All the best to everyone – take care & keep safe
