 The factory shop is not far from here - and I have to go past it (well almost - it would be a tiny diversion off the A38) when I visit my sister so that will be my first port of call when I'm ready. And I read today that they have decided to stay in Denby rather than move production abroad - so I would be supporting local people.
 I have eaten a frog (and fortunately missed any live ones) as I have cut the grass at the back.
 I have also made huge inroads into my ironing pile and I have NOT ONE BUT TWO INSECT DAYS this week:DDon't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson Janice 1964-2016 Janice 1964-2016
