My Nearing 100 Year Old Customer on Ebay

I felt I had to write about a transaction I had on ebay that I will never forget. Many years ago, when I first started selling on ebay I sold an eclectic mix of items including china, glass, brass etc before I decided to specialise in silver.

I had a brass ships bell offered for sale which sold quite quickly and I received an email from the lady who purchased it, to say that she had bought it for her husband to go on his boat. Included in the email she stated that she was nearing 100. [Read more…] about My Nearing 100 Year Old Customer on Ebay

EST Ivybridge Donkey Quiz Night – For Humans

The PFA (Parents and Friends Association) who support the Ivybridge Branch of the Elizabeth Svendsen Trust for Children and Donkeys (EST) with their fundraising and fun events throughout the year organised the annual Quiz Night which was held on Saturday 3rd March 2012 which was the first event for 2012. It took place in the indoor arena at the centre.

Myself, my husband and two of our friends, Jock and Heather, decided to have an evening out for some brain workout and the four of us formed a team. There were around 20 teams who took part and we were sat at table number 13!!! Was it lucky or unlucky for us – please read on. [Read more…] about EST Ivybridge Donkey Quiz Night – For Humans

As said in my previous post, our first cruise was around the Western Meditteranean on the Aurora in 2003, but we have had several cruises since then which have included the Baltic Cities, which again was a super cruise and the places we visited were stunning. [Read more…] about Cruises to Date

A Rabbit Hole Takes The Biscuit – Henry’s

As I have stated previously, I walk our neighbours dog Henry, a Golden Retriever, twice a week on a Tuesday and Thursday. Now Henry is a real gentleman of the doggy world and is extremely well behaved- obeys every command (well nearly), and a walk with him is a very relaxing and sedate affair. Over the 12 months that I have been walking him, I have never had anything to write about, but this morning 1st March 2012, we had rather a funny incident. [Read more…] about

Dog Reference For Daisy

Daisy’s owners holiday in France every year, and last year when they went away, and Daisy had not yet got her pet passport as she was a fairly new addition to their family, I offered to look after her for the two weeks whilst they were away, so we got to know her quite well. She now has her pet passport and her owners want to take her with them this year. They stay in a Gite and are friendly with the owner, who does allow pets to stay but only if they are well behaved. As Daisy’s owners wanted to confirm that she was okay I was asked if I would write a doggy reference. Well, I don’t think I have ever heard of anyone writing a doggy reference, but I naturally agreed. Having said I would, what do you actually write? [Read more…] about Dog Reference For Daisy
