We have some well loved furniture free to a good home. Great opportunity for an upcycle if anyone loves a project.
All of the three coffee tables are pine (one is painted).
The roll top desk comes apart for easy transport. It too needs a bit of TLC on the finish but otherwise absolutely fine.
Otherwise off to the charity shop, but thought I’d offer it here first.
All the best,

Parwich has done it again, what a great afternoon we had as visitors turned out in their hundreds on Sunday to enjoy our beautiful village, the whole of which looked amazing.


Huge thanks go to the individual garden owners who worked so hard to get ready for the big day and to share their enthusiasm. To the many volunteers who helped to sell tickets, cream teas and plants, oversee car parking and put up signage. And last but not least, to Steve Jones for such memorable photos.


It’s a huge team effort and we couldn’t do it without your support. Thank you again. We look forward to sharing the proceeds with village groups and organisations.
