With the happy coincidence of Easter, the Royal Wedding and May Day....take 26th-28th April off and you'll get 11 days holiday in return. I can't recall that ever happening in recent memory. In fact, unless you're a policeman, nurse or on shift work you'd be mad not to do this right?


As a Scotsman, I'm keen to escape any hint of gawrd bless yer marm fawning and elope to anywhere warm that will not be showing the Royal Wedding. So are you cashing in your 3 for 11 offer and if so where do you intend to spend it?

I'll be up in the beautiful south Shropshire hills with the family. We'll be walking, birdwatching, drinking the local ale and picking wild bilberries on the moors. No phone, no TV, no internet and no phone signal. Bliss.


Same as I did back in '81 for the other Royal Wedding :-)

    • Thanks. I'll call them shortly as I could get there without the car.  That's good of Sainsburys! We've done the apple pie and tart thing, an ongoing muesli thing and the coleslaw thing - just not sure what effect all the sugars are having on our digestive tracts. 
    • One time Sainsbury's delivered 6 bags of apples instead of 6 single apples which I couldn't possibly get through. I phoned Pecan in Peckham to ask if they would accept them despite their website stating no fresh foods. I must have phoned at just the right time as they were happy to accept them. Sainsburys gave me a refund so the donation was courtesy of them. Or you could experiment with all kinds of apple recipes and write a blog about it
    • There's a food bank off Dog Kennel Hill. Albrighton Community Fridge. https://www.albrightoncommunityfridge.org/ I'm sure they would welcome them, but maybe check first, as they don't actually mention fresh fruit on their website? But apples aren't that perishable. Drop off seven days a week 9 - 5. Be warned if you are going by car, parking can be very difficult, easiest if there are two of you so one person can take the food in while the other can move the car if necessary.
    • Food banks for sure and what about approaching these schools in area that run summer camps - although having said that with health and safety being so strict might not allow it - crazy really.    Can’t remember name of church but was one in Peckham that from memory did a community meal a couple of times a week. Now they for sure would take them and probably Kingswood House as well.
