Life in a small town...

We needed a new fridge for the holiday flat: the door of the old one had finally given up, and it is the start of a new season. It's delightful that, living here, you can phone the local electrical people, and they suggest what you want, are happy to access the place without you to deliver it, fit it, swap the door hinging side over and take the old one away, all before you even get round to popping down to pay for it. This is a place where you are known and you know people. Nice!
