Day of Rest

The Sandwich Cellar will be closed tomorrow - Sue and Malachi have worked for 19 days straight through, and they need a day off.
Though Malachi still has to mow the lawn....

The Fleur de Lys lady will be closed too - her son has come up from London and they're having a quick family get-together before he has to go back.

Joyce and Myra at Wool and Willow have been looking in catalogues for small cabinets to display Judy's beaded jewellery - and they're all very expensive. I remembered that Mary Fellowes got a local chap in to make cabinets for some of the expensive books in Broad Street Book Centre, so I asked her who had done it.
"Oh, that was Mike Harley - he's semi-retired now, so he only does little jobs that he feels like doing. Two years ago his ladders got stolen, and he took that as a sign that he should stop doing outdoor work. Sometimes he works with Frankie the painter - he's semi-retired too, and only works in summer, and only on jobs where he can go at his own pace and potter about."
So the plan is to go up to Alen at Backfold Books and ask her how to get in touch with Frankie (she's just had him in to spruce up all her paintwork), and then ask Frankie how to get in touch with Mike, who has a workshop not far from the Rhydspence Inn. Yes, looking him up in the phone book would be easier, but this is Hay.
