Does anyone know how long the Post Office will be closed for, please?

Visiting my son and daughter in Law earlier this afternoon at Nantwich Road, Wistaston, I notice smoke blowing across the road from behind the houses where they live. I park up and see a fire appliance turning into the farm entrance two houses further up. As I once insured these premises in my NFU days, I go around the back of the farmyard to assess the risk to the adjacent houses, as the wind is blowing toward them. The field at the rear is well alight, close by a tractor stands smouldering, and the fire crew are struggling to contain the spread. A pile of logs was burning adjacent to a tall, corrugated steel fence. Fortunately, my son's property is protected by a twelve foot high barrier of wrapped silage bales. The neighbours' hedges do not have that protection. I see the owner and I enquire what started it, expecting it to be the tractor shorting out as they sometimes do. He replied that he had lit a small bonfire that morning, had watched it burn out and thought all was well...
As we walked back towards the farm house a car tyre, which was one of several leaning up against the steel fencing adjacent to the burning logs, was also alight. We rapidly pulled them away and put out the flames. A second appliance arrives as I take my leave and the farmer assures me that he has no gas bottles stored on the premises.
The message is clear, in weather conditions like we have at the present time, you cannot contain a bonfire, even if it is within a steel container and if you barbecue with charcoal, don't dispose of the ashes until you are absolutely sure that they are cold. How can you be sure that they are cold? Just ask your partner to carefully push their fingers deep into the ashes, it never fails. But if you don't duck in time, let me know which ward you are on for the card!

Audlem seems to have gone dry already – no tap water since 12 noon today in the middle of the village !

This is a very serious and disturbing situation. So, huge thanks to the Webteam for providing us with the facts to quell the rumours ... and if the rumours become fact – for providing us with solutions. Excellent service, as always.

Can anyone please recommend a local pet sitter who can check in on our cat and water our plants while we are away? She doesn't get on well with catteries.
Happy to pay of course
Many thanks

Hi everyone
All sorted!
Announcement amended

We'll be out tomorrow, 9 Jul, at 1000hrs, if anyone wants to join us for chocolate biscuits. I'll give you a Yellow jacket :)

I was very sorry to hear of the injuries sustained by the two cyclists because of the 'sinkhole', and that as a result they've both had to cancel their walking holidays.
I assume that they're aware that they can claim compensation for any damage to their bikes and also possibly for personal injury caused by CE Highways' failure to maintain the highway to a satisfactory standard.
I've previously claimed successfully for a tyre that deflated instaneously after I drove at night into a deep pothole fiiled with water near Aston.
My understanding is that CEC & other councils have insurance to cover claims like mine.

I nominate you, Terry, as my Showbiz Agent! You'll have to give me time to figure out what I can actually do in the biz they call show but....rest assured..as soon as I find out whatever it is I can do, you'll be the second to know. Obviously, I'll be the first to know but what with my memory not being as good as my forgetory these days....I will probably have forgotton to remember to tell you what I can't remember to let you know what I can't remember to tell you what it is I can do.
Remember Leslie Welch (29 December 1907 – 8 February 1980)? No..........nor me.

Hi, I've just started out with dog walking and pet sitting if anyone is looking about! I have a Facebook page called "Pawfect Pet Services" for more information, or just send me an email Jess_williams1@yahoo.com
Many thanks

Oh but Billy you certainly are a celebrity around these parts, almost as famous as the Paddock Lane pothole so beloved of Colin. Indeed if you fell into said pothole you'd be well within your rights to shout "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here".

Green Lane is open right the way along. There are temporary traffic lights at the top by the bridge just before the 30 mph sign.

Is Green Lane still closed? I need to go to Market Drayton tomorrow.

Terry; I've just re-read my reply to you and it dosen't come over the way I meant it to so, I'll start afresh. Terry, it WASN'T a local celebrity on the trailer for Find It Fix It Flog It....it was only me.
But, my sprouts reference, and the repeat fee bit came over exactly as intended. ;-)

Hello Terry. I can confirm....it is indeed your imagination regarding the 'local celebrity' bit because, it was actually me! Regarding Nora; I can't say anymore than I already know which is nothing. When I know nothing more, I shall let you know. But what I CAN say for certain is; I wish I were paid repeat fee's....and I don't just mean for my old 'jokes' or my regular meals of sprouts with a side order of sprouts. And sprouts and custard for pudding.
Disclaimer; don't try the last one...it's really not nice!

Just look on Facebook market place. There are lots of people around the area wanting to get rid of their rubble.

I've been led to believe that there is a local riding stables that would be happy for my 11 year old grandson, who has additional needs, to meet the horses. The lady that I spoke to thinks it is the Buerton area. Does anyone know where this might be please?.

Please see lost and found regarding a white wellie lleft at the bottom of my drive.

Mat Capper from Pau Cycle Shop was such a star today when my friend came off her bike due to the sinkhole. He and a lady from ADAS who was tending planters looked after her and helped her into our car. Mat then took are of our bikes. He also looked after the second injured cyclist. It was due to Mat and the police that a council worker shortly arrived with a bucket of gloop to fill the hole. We will need to watch the hole to see it doesn't subside again. My friend is in Leighton with a badly broken leg.

Can anyone advise if there is someone who can repair a zip in golf bag cover?

Thanks

Bryan

Found in the field by Hankelow Mill earlier today (Thursday) a chain link dog lead with leather handle. Judy Benson now has custody of it at Williams' Newsagents.
