I'm horrified! If I was more than 5 miles from a Lidl, I would consider moving. (Not quite true but I do like Lidl - and Aldi is in some ways better but I don't have a branch nearby at present, although that is likely to change. I do recommend the tools from both; quality usually good and warranties are quite generous and honoured.)

Freddy: I've no idea whether these Lidl items are of interest to you but maybe so: http://www.lidl.co.uk/en/our-offers-2491.htm?action=showDetail&id=28827&ar=12 They are cheap enough to warrant a try, perhaps. As usual with Lidl 'specials', they will either sell out quickly or languish.

My favourite place. I like being around people, but as a watcher really, rather than participator. I'm happy to mix, and be quite the joker come party animal, but I prefer to an observer. It's hard to observe when you are participating, as so much gets missed. When Mrs Freddy, myself and out grandson go out, I will say to either "did you notice ...... ?" "did you see ....?" "do you not think ...... was a bit odd?" Neither of them notice anything. It's so bad, I sometimes accuse Mrs Freddy of needing a white stick. I don't have to say anything these days, just say; "tap tap tap..." The world is a wonderful place, it's the people in it that are not always so wonderful ...
