My mother-in-law gave me her copy of ‘You’magazine at the weekend which I assume is the glossy supplement which accompanied her Sunday newspaper. I read it on the lonnnng journey back from Cornwall (6 hours when you’re towing a caravan at 50 miles an hour). The first article caught my attention as it describes [...] I’ve got a new veg patch and it has many tender seedlings and young plants growing nicely which I’ve tended to with more care than my own children.

Each item was under £1 and the woman selling it (to raise money for the school) had every size and every item. I managed to kit out both of [...] We are very excited because Big Bertha has finally joined the family. She is a twelve year old,5-berth,Coachman touring caravan with peach soft furnishings a small shower/loo and a great kitchenette.
