*Help needed*

Now that we are closed (a lovely thank you post coming about that), thoughts turn to fundraising to ensure we can reopen next year.

We have an opportunity to help car parking at a local festival on Saturday 21st Sept and in return, they give us a little donation. But we need a couple more volunteers.

The help is needed between 9am and 5pm for the whole time or even just a couple of hours.

You will also get a weekend ticket to the festival to thank you!

Is anyone available to help, please 🙏

Thank you

Posting for Sarah Hall
Hi!
I lost a very precious to me crystal pendulum today on St Lawrence Lane between Rafikis, the post office and Tom’s antique shop.
I dropped everything out of a pocket in my bag and picked up all the cards but forgot that I had the crystal with me until a little later.
It is a clear quartz with cloud like inclusions on a silver chain with a tree of life in a circle halfway down the chain and a small silver bead at the end.
It has no value except to me, and if anyone has found it I will be very grateful to get it back!!
I can’t find a photo at the moment but will add one as soon as I can.
Keeping everything crossed xx

Love is in the air, all around and lifting us up where we belong, as Episode #3 of the Agatha Christie in Devon podcast has dropped.

We find out how Agatha came out as a young debutant and after several proposals of marriage went on to meet her first husband, Archie Christie at a dance.

We travel to Anstey's Cove, Torquay Golf Club, Ugbrooke House & Gardens, the Pavilion, Torquay Train Station and The Grand Hotel, Torquay to continue the story.

Special guests include Laura Thompson, the Honourable Alexander Clifford and Dr Jamie Bernthal-Hooker.

The episode can be downloaded from wherever you listen to your podcasts, or via the link in the comments (below).
