Well, it's been a year!!
It's not been the easiest of years, but we got through it.
Thank you all whom we've bumped into and said such kind words.

Onslow Sheppard is doing well. Living his best life in the countryside. A bit deaf and terribly bossy by all accounts

We are all doing well too.

Mandi still works in Newent.
Sarah Toplis has a fab job in a new place.
John Clissold is rather magnificent these days.
Amy Goodman is working in Ross
Issy Gwyer continues being creative on Insta, and
Jo Davies is RR4Allrecycling resources 4 all in The Resource Centre in Gloucester Gloucestershire Resource Centre - Scrapstore
Jo Dicker is found these days on a farm.
And me, Penny Mail I've been dossing about with different things, having a think. Taking some time.
I'm just in the process of launching my new venture, I'm looking at doing Hoarding Help, Decluttering, Tenancy Cleans and taking items with life left and either selling them or distributing them to people in need.
I'd be grateful of a like and share, or feedback. Hey You, Decluttering Service

It's probably time to close this page down. Although I can never quite do it.
We miss you all!
Much love 😘

Happy New Year to our lovely Recyclers.
It’s been nearly a year since we closed and we miss you all.
I am now making bags etc from recycled fabrics sourced from charity shops, online and at the scrap store in Gloucester. ♻️Giving fabric a second chance one bag at a time. 💚 It would be great if you could give me a follow on facebook and on instagram @ issysrosevillacraft. I also have a stall at Newent Saturday Market on most months from February onwards.
Best wishes
Issy

It's been just over a week since we left the site.
The Elves are well, a bit lost if the truth be told.
Thank you to all who helped, and have tried to help with our current situation, it has been at times tricky. We do appreciate your kind words. The liquidation is under way, which is both sad, and a relief.
In the meantime, here is an update on Onslow.
After a wobbly start, with next door's cats, he has settled in. This is his favourite spot outside, where apparently he shouts at the birds and watches the lambs with great interest.
The cats leave him alone, and his new family give him lots of cuddles in the evening.
He fell on all of those 4 paws once more.
We miss you guys ❤️
