Re: List of Traders, Builders, Services

Just thinking (or writing) from the top of my head here, but reading your queries Mosy, (how useful I am finding this already) and looking at our screens' top page in Town café, the pinned bit at the top would have, chronologically, the following threads: - builder recommendation please - who fixes ...

Re: List of Traders, Builders, Services

Sounds simple, straightforward and clear to me Rachael. Thanks Mosy. I would too hate an overcomplicated re-arranging process or indeed information system - perish the thought. It's just sometimes in the past I have looked and looked for a particular service/builder etc and spend hours looking every...

Re: List of Traders, Builders, Services

The arrival of a new member of the family + a ruthless & all encompassing flu mean I have not been around much. Now I'm back, I have yet again hugely benefited from 2 suggestions made here (re local carpenter & wall repointing firm) - so the topic seems once again pressing to me. Bearing in ...

Re: #RebuildTheGreyhound - pub to be rebuilt by April 2015?

I've just been IN it!!! a rather lovely builder saw me staring at the work and asked if I wanted to look in - you don't say?!!! It is larger than it looks and part of the walls are already covered in spectacular tiling which he said it cost £35.000 to buy and were new (reproductions). So - does that...

Re: List of Traders, Builders, Services

I suspect the same would happen here but as long as our admin/admins did write an initial note stating that negative critical posts are not acceptable for obvious reasons then I am sure it could still work for us. All we would have to do, maybe, would be if/when we happen to disagreed with a glowing...

Rather kind.

And best wishes to them as well as everyone else in the Forum, in the knowledge that we don't have to worry too much as it'll soon be over and we can all get back to work - :)

Re: List of Traders, Builders, Services

Would it then perhaps be possible to open a new sub section on the Forum on the lines of Town Businesses & Services of something to that effect? I have found people's advice invariably crucial and have often thought of copying and pasting all of it for when the need arises. As it stands, when &q...

Re: Meditation Group

Yes you are right, I should have been clearer. I am looking for a Mindfulness or one of the forms of Buddhist Meditations. If I don't find an existent group I will form one myself.

Thank you Robin.

I miss the meditation sessions I used to attend years ago in Edinburgh.

If anybody knows of any local groups/classes please can you let me know? And if not, but would like to form one, please PM me. Thanks

Fantastic. I am going to adapt the recipe you posted over a year ago (ie Barley and Pomegranate) using quinoa instead. Positively inspired post.... many thanks.
