The Wheatsheaf didn't have a very good week last week. One of their neighbours told me they'd had a chimney fire, with the firemen there for over an hour, and the following day they were closed because of trouble with the water mains - 'fire and flood'!
Meanwhile, it's the season for re-furbishing before the hordes of eager customers descend on the town (we all hope!).
Shepherds is being painted.
The kitchen of the Wholefood Shop is closed, and the little down-the-steps bit where you usually get takeaways is closed - soon to re-open as A Moveable Feast.
Addymans have re-shelved and painted one room, and put out all their children's books, and now they've moved on to the front room opposite the till. They've got some amazing woodwork to fit in there, that came from an old church. "It's the Hackney Empire, isn't it?" said Richie, who is helping to do the work. Eventually it will all be painted a sort of 'old gold' colour, and it will look rather fabulous.
And finally, Phil the Fruit was complaining about the perils of putting trays of vegetables outside the front of his shop - the blackbirds have been coming down and eating his apples and pears!

I know it's been on-going for a while, but I promise the re-furb of the bar will be finished shortly!
Oh the little buggers! The birds I mean.. We have had to pick all our fruit early to try to save some from them. I do like watching them feeding though.
