    PICK YOUR OWN APPLES OFFERED!

    You can come and pick them yourself fresh from our apple trees in central Dorchester, best now in September/October I think before they all fall off! There’s far too many for Stu and I and we have 2 different trees so one tree has COOKING APPLES and the other has EATING APPLES.

    Marts are negotiable as we just don’t want them to go to waste like they usually do and we didn’t have much luck storing them in the shed last year!

    Call Anna on (01305) 267854 or email info@annacelestewatson.com.

    Flower Facts:
    Worldwide, over 50 million roses are traded on Valentines Day.
    Around 90% of the days flowers are bought by men.
    34 million £ are spent on flowers at Valentines in the UK.
    On this day there is a huge demand for this one product, in avery short timeframe, which inevitably causes supply problems.
    Consequently higher prices than during the rest of the year.
    Demand simply outstrips supply…

    Contact LETS Florist Sabine Bale for Valentine flower orders (latest 9th February) on
    01305 260318 or sabinebale@googlemail.com.

      Nobody wanted Flowers, because everybody is more imaginative or ignores the special day of love. Thanks to Beth, our new LETS member, we all can enjoy an afternoon in the Dorchester Old Tea House with poetry on Valentines. I certainly will not miss it.

      Hi Cat
      Do you do clothes alterations like taking in a waistband that is too big, or adding a dart to a dress? I am not looking for an ‘undetectable’ alteration ie unpicking all the seams and resweing them just a good enough job that’s not visible from the outside. I am between sizes and always end up having to take bits in – and its awkward to do on my own (the pinning) and I don’t really have time. I would like to pay Marts for it instead! ;-)

This is a set of skills, and a network, for self-development and self-exploration. It aims to help you get more out of life, and often helps with confidence, relationships, and planning change that really works.
    We are holding a free TASTER SESSION this Sunday, 28 November, from 2.30 to 4.30, UPSTAIRS at the Old Tea House, 44 High West Street, Dorchester (but please buy your own tea, to keep the tea house happy :)

    This is not a LETS offer BUT if you buy some of these beautiful free-range hens you could sell their lovley fresh eggs on LETS!!! : )

    Can you help give these ex-laying hens a home for life before March 1st or they will be slaughtered? A free-range farmer in Northants has been forced to sell up and wants them to have the chance to live and have a happy home – they are only 1 year old, beautiful condition, make lovely pets and will lay eggs. Thousands available and every 1 homed will be worth it for that lucky 1 and we are sure would be worth the travel. Many Thanks, Anna.
