We still have some dates available for late November and into December. Why not combine a stay with some stained glass tuition? Jude's studio is directly above the accommodation...

I have an old Tru-Fire chamber kiln that I haven't used for many years now. Weighs a ton and tripped the fusebox when I pugged it in yesterday. Can anybody make use of it or get it up and running? Happy to give it away if you are able to get it out of my workshop! It used to do a good job for both painting and fusing and I have some shelves and spare elements.

MISSING
Our beautiful but extremely nervous black cat has not come home for a week - have you seen her anywhere in the North Allington/St Swithins/Court Orchard area?
She is large with very lush black fur and a few little white hairs on her chest.
She is very unlikely to come to anyone as she is scared of strangers.
Fingers crossed that someone has seen her or been looking after her...
