I am pleased that a number of you on the forum liked the cottage over the last two years. I will check on last year's interest for those who may be first refusal for this year (but do remind me in any case). Meanwhile, please PM me for further details. Briefly:


1870 stone cottage near to Huelgoat in N Finistere. 40mins from coasts, 5 mins from town and village. Wild and less wild walks, cycling, cultural stuff, smaller theme parks, tree top adventure and plenty of other activities. A very gentle nine hole golf course.


Comfortably sleeps 6, potentially more. 1/2 an acre of land. Not a five star villa with swimming pool put a holiday home we've had for 13 years and have used countless times.


Good if you like the outdoor life, a bit of privacy and want to avoid the masses. If you want five star luxury this isn't for you. I ask for a modest fee which helps cover expenses. It will be free at May half term and for most of the summer. Minimum of a week but this can be done midweek to midweek to save on ferry costs and I am pretty flexible.


I have a great project building a large rockery so those with gardening experience particularly welcome but not essentail! Ditto for amateur archiologists and fans of Time Team! Possibly good for riding too (a neighbour has some horses).

Wow! I would definitely like to go, and like the idea of the rockery. Right up my street. I would need to sort out dates with my people.Could be easier for me if we could talk or text, don't always get time to read emails. Is it easy to get to your place by boat and rail? All the best, Kim 07931 448840

The cottage is free for from 2 July until 30 July and then the last few weeks of August - please PM me if interested. It would be a shame that it was not used for a week or two over high summer. Thanks to those that contacted me already and will be using it this and next month and in September.


?150 a week, photo and description above.


This is not a commercial let but a holiday home that we, friends, and new friends, have used for the last 13 years. After watching springwatch tonight a great opportunity to lay some traps for reptiles and invertibrates (corrigated iron that they bask/shelter under!)

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
