Having looked at the holiday lets listed on the blog, please can I post the following:
Does anyone know of any ‘baby and toddler’ friendly holiday accommodation ie with a double bedroom and another with room for two cots somewhere and a reasonably large bathroom. Parking close by would be good too.
Thanks
C Gordon, Alsop.

The Legion is looking for part time bar staff.
We particularly need someone who can work Saturdays, either every week or as part of a rota system and who could potentially provide occasional cover for other nights (e.g. when existing staff are away).
If you are interested please contact Carl on 551.

Just to make people aware, a man came up my drive and was looking about. When I asked if I could help he said he was looking for a holiday cottage but he didn’t know the name of the cottage or any information about where it was. I have reported the incident to the police. The man is about 5′ 6″ tall, mid 40s and driving a 2 door silver Focus ( I think).
