Every three weeks we have the mobile library park outside our house & every time I forget unless as happened this morning I glance up & see it parked. It’s there for half an hour & just three of us use it.
I actually much prefer going to Garstang library & taking my time. In the van we are all in together edging around each other, plus there is chat & I can’t concentrate properly.
Luckily the van works from Garstang library so I can mix it up & borrow from either.
If we don’t use it we will loose it!
Three good things!
1. I’ve had a massive clean up today while Harry has been out.
2. Slow cooker on.
3. Repercussions Of the bird flu. I ordered the turkey in plenty of time but had a letter from Booths this morning to say their supplier can no longer provide any turkeys. They have changed our order to a joint which won’t look as Christmassy but at least we have something! Might look at other options.
I think we have one of these, but I have personally never used it. It's a good service to have though & there are obviously enough people in the village that do use it & keep it going.
Eee, a library van! How utterly wonderful. I would use one if we had one. Our library has recently shut sadly. It was such a magical place to me every Saturday afternoon as a child and I had usually read all my three books before teatime and was desperate for Saturday to come around again!
A great commodity for a rural area! We had this service at home in mid Wales, Mum used it regularly, and would order what she wanted to be brought from the main library in the nearby town. on the next visit!
How lucky you are to have the van there every three weeks. Must be great using the slow cooker in the cooler weather, although I didn’t use ours as much last winter.
@beryl I did the same this time Beryl. It’s odd really as I park my car opposite the main library every week but I know one day I might be so glad if this van right outside my house.
The van used to come down the lane where we used to live & park outside our farm. Now we’ve moved here & it’s once again parking outside our house….so lucky!
Great to have the library van!
One of our friends 'retired early' from a very stressful job and drove a library van in rural Aberdeenshire, including Royal Deeside, and the stories he had to tell from all his customers.....he could have written his own book 😄
Sorry about the turkey situation. We have our one ordered from a young local farmer so hopefully he will be able to keep his birds free from avian flu. But I'm sure the alternatives will be very acceptable. It's just a tragedy for the farmers.
Great photo. I hope you find a way to work with your 'joint' or manage to catch an alternative solution to not having a turkey for your Christmas dinner.
Hopefully you can get the bird you want.🦃
