Hurrah for our local locksmith

This morning I went to open our kitchen door and realised that the key had sheared off into the lock. How frustrating. I unscrewed the lock from the door and took it to our local ironmonger/locksmith in Frankwell. I love that shop. It is like an Aladdin’s cave. I explained what had happened and he said to come back in half an hour. So half an hour later I had a brand new key and a beautifully oiled and cleaned lock, which I was able to put back on the door. How lucky are we to have these wonderful tradesmen so close.
