Police matters

• PC ian Ralston and PC Enoch Stickings

attended tonight’s meeting and updated coun-

cilors with a report on recent crime in Keith.

He explained that there has been 35 reported

crimes in the past month:15 dishonesty

crimes; 4 vandalisms; 5 road traffic offences;

2 drink driving offences and the remainder

anti social behavior crimes such as assault

and breach of the peace. A large proportion

of the dishonesty offences were related to a

number of frauds and attempted frauds where

Eastern Europeans used cash exchange of

money scams to defraud banks or shop staff.

The remainder was theft of fuel or diesel or

high value metals.

• Police are continuing to target anti-social

driving.

• Constable Ralston and Community Warden

Donna Jamieson are continuing to work with

the Junior Warden Scheme at Keith Primary

School to promote Good Citizenship. initially

it will involve primary 7 pupils but will

hopefully roll over to other years.

• Another operation will be launched Moray

wide to tackle anti social behavior including

drink and drugs.

• nC showed her disappointment at the no

show of police at in incident at the British

legion where youngsters had started a fire in

the toilet area. The police were called but

there was a no show. PC Ralston would make

enquiries and would report back to the next

meeting as he didn’t know why there was a

no show of police. A youth has been charged

in connection with the fire.

• Police were told of other incidents of

vandalism at the footbridge leading up to the

Falls Of Tarnash known locally as the Green

Briggie. The wooden spars have been set

alight and left in a dangerous state. SC will in-

vestigate and see if Moray Council can get

the repairs done. There were reports of other

fire raising incidents in the Den area as well.

• There was a report of bottles that have been

smashed at the cricket pavilion. it was

deemed dangerous where dogs and young-

sters could be hurt if not cleared up.

• The Green Dog Walkers campaign was

praised.

• The police were asked to up their patrols on

Alexandra Road where the new houses were

going up as there was diesel going missing

from vehicles. if anyone sees anything suspi-

cious they should report it to the police.

• if anyone has any information to give to the

police they can be contacted on 0845 600

5700 or Crime stoppers on 0800 555 111.

updates can be accessed on the Force

website at www.grampianpolice.co.uk

community councillors update

• Environment - iC said that the flower tubs

from Keith Square had been uplifted.

• Cl - Roads and Rights of Way - The Regent

Street retarring was at a standstill due to a

machine breaking down. Hopefully repairs will

restart again soon.

• Gullys in Mar Court still not cleared. RS said

the machines came round on a rota system

and would be here in time.

• JM had asked about the repairs to Box

Junction at bottom of Mid Street. There was

no progress yet.

• There are new signs in Keith advising of the

low Bridge at Huntly which is slightly lower

now due to more tarring. The road is not

advisable for certain vehicles. DH asked

about the lollipop person situation. Was it the

Councils responsibity to supply one as

parents have been asked to volunteer when

the lollipop person does not appear for work.

it was felt it should be someone who is trained

in the area who should be doing the work. GC

will look into the matter.

• Heading to newmill from Keith There is a

problem of water running of the fields onto the

road. RS will look into this

• Christmas lights - SC will order more col-

lecting tins to go into local shops. SH gave

him the email address that she got from

Rhona Patterson. SC thanked CC for taking

off all 120 sets of lights and her husband for

getting the trees dumped at the recycling yard

along with himself. SC said we will have to

see how many more sets will be needed for

this year and the brackets will have to be

checked as well. A meeting will have to be

arranged hopefully on the 14th May in

Community Centre at 7pm.

• DH - licensing - DH had a shop keeper

asking about the town signs. GC said he

thought they were to be replaced. They are

very dirty and it was hoped that someone

from the Community Service team may be

able to help out with the cleaning of them

MC - Furniture and signs - Tourism signs - MC

has spoken with James Smith at Moray

Council about using signs on the outskirts of

the town. There is a long term plan on

signage at Keith. James Smith will get back to

MC about this matter. Bear will have to be

consulted. The signs which MC has could be

used to promote Mid Street.

• nC - Housing - There is a private house-

holder who is having problems with their

neighbors having rubbish in their garden -

they will need to contact the Environmental

Department who will deal with it. There are a

couple of Council property’s lying empty

where rent may still being paid. Worry of

vandalism on these properties.

• There seems to be too much chlorine in the

water at some of the houses in the den Area.

Householders are unable to drink water from

there taps and are having to drink bottled

water. GC will speak with Scottish water.

• GC - The 309 bus service been reprieved

for this financial year. Money which was due

to go elsewhere has been allocated to the bus

service. DH asked if the toilets in Keith are to

be closed. GC said they were not that a

mobile squad was now in operation meaning

that the toilets will not be locked overnight.

• FTAG - MC said that numbers have

dwindled but someone was willing to be chair-

person if there were at least 12 people who

would attend the meetings. Hey are hoping to

reprint the Keith brochure. Rhona Patterson

has taken on this responsibility.

• The manufacturers of the flags have been

taken over by another company. They plan to

put weights on the gags so they don’t get as

snarled as they have done previously. Rhona

is also seeing to this.

When smaller CAN be better

Local electrical appliances retailer JM Younie andSons (known simply as Younies to most) is fightinghard to remind shoppers of the benefits of stayinglocal when making household purchases. Internetbased shops and multinational chains may purportto offer more, but is that the reality? How much timecan we spend on comparison websites trawlingfeedback responses on products we cannot see ortouch? Just how much technical advice is availablein these big outlets?

So what is Younies (and other independent storeslike them) doing to combat the big retailers?

��Firstly - price - it may surprise some that Younies isable to compete very well on price due in large partto its membership of one of the biggest buyinggroups in Europe. In this way, the large buying powerof “the biggies” is matched at the local level. Pricesare constantly being reduced as new technologycomes on stream.

��Secondly - buying experience - Stores like Younieshave years (and we do mean years!) of built upexperience in brand performance in electricalgoods. Younies know only too well that the successof their business hinges on being able to supplyproducts that will stand the test of time. They wellknow that a customer will be straight back to themwith a faulty product and it is therefore in theirinterests to get it right first time.

��Thirdly - service - and this is where Younies canscore really well. From the best in-store independentadvice, to delivery and then to fitting an appliance.After sale service is a matter of a quick phone callto a “real” person or a revisit to the store. All of whichcan often be not so easy with “the biggies”.

Younies has a huge product range that wouldsurprise many and has competitive prices to match.

If we really want to see a local economic recoverythen it is essential that businesses like Younies areable to compete with the big boys. Local businessesare truly the lifeblood of the local community andlong may they thrive!

As I think about the Church of JesusChrist, I can't help thinking about it's re-lationship with people that don't go toChurch. Often, when we think of theChurch, we think of it as an institutionthat is in decline; something that is irrel-evant, old fashioned, and out of touchwith society today. Although this is trueof some individual Churches, I havefound that this is not the case in everyChurch.

It is probably the case that the Church isguilty, to some degree, of portraying itselfin these terms. As far as I am concerned,I don't see the Church declining, or eventrying to hold it's own, but I see it on theincrease, as more and more people arelooking to the Church for answers in thiscomplex world. Once people take thestep to come into the Church they findthat it is a loving, caring, compassionateplace, with people who care for eachother.

Far from being irrelevant, many havefound that the Church offers the onlything that can meet every need, and thatis the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It doesn'thave to be old fashioned and unchange-able, but it can use modern technologyto put across the message in a new,vibrant, and exiting way. I have found thatit is as in touch with society as it has everbeen, in fact, it is more in touch now thanever before.

The reason for my optimism is based, noton false hope, but in the words of JesusHimself in Matthew 16:18b, where Hesays “I will build My Church, and thegates of Hell shall not prevail against it.”Because Jesus said it, I believe that it willbe the way it will happen; if not, then Heis either a liar or a madman, out todeceive us. Almost everybody I know inthe Church didn't always think it was aplace they would want to be a part of.

We all can have preconceived ideasabout things and people. A common

criticism of Church is that it is full of hyp-ocrites. Before I started coming toChurch over 25 years ago, I thought thattoo, but I found out that the vast majorityof people had something I lacked. My lifeat that time was pretty good, money andmaterial possessions weren't lacking,and I certainly wasn't in any particularcrisis, and yet, I found they hadsomething to offer.

They had the peace of God in their livesand a joy that held through, even whenthe bad times came. I have come toknow that peace in my own life.

If you have never been to Church or youwere scared off in the past, or if you wereeven hurt by people in the Church, whynot come along and see for yourself whatit is all about. It says in Psalm 34:8, “Ohtaste and see that the Lord is good.”Ithink you will be pleasantly surprised.

June is a busy month for all things feathered,

adults are busy feeding hungry beaks whilst

others are sitting on second broods of eggs.

Two of our summer visitors the Swallow and

House Martin will be making their presence

felt by the excited chirruping acrobatic flying

and piles of mess left under their nests!

However for this small inconvenience it is

worth having these birds near to us.

Take some time to look at the birds close up

and what once looked like an ordinary black

and white bird takes on a whole new

perspective, The Swallow with its metallic

blue sheen on the head back and wings

contrasting with the creamy white underparts

both set off with the rust red forehead and

throat and the elegant long tail streamers, as

a rule when you see a pair together try and

compare the tail streamer lengths the male is

normally noticeably longer, all in all a very

elegant bird.

The House Martin although very similar has its

own subtle plumage, it too shares the metallic

blue sheen to its black feathers, however the

white is pure white and it has no rust red on

the throat and forehead, it’s tail is short with a

deep forked end but no tail streamers, but

the most obvious difference especially in flight

is it’s pure white rump and powerful direct

swooping flight, this is also the culprit that

nests in the eaves of houses leaving it’s tell

tale sign below.

If you have these enigmatic little birds staying

with you, think of the fantastic journey they have

just undertaken and the sights they have seen ,

not to mention the perils and dangers they have

encountered on their long flight from Africa, and

think how luck you are that they have chosen

your house to call home.

Having had such fantastic Spring

weather it now really is time to get

the barbeque out and enjoy the

long days of Summer. Knockomie regularly has

BBQ private parties for those wanting an

informal celebration, this is one of the most

requested puddings.

Blueberry and Raspberry Pavlova

4 x large egg whites

250grm caster sugar

1 x teaspoon cider or white wine vinegar

1 x heaped dessert spoon cornflour

1 x teaspoon natural vanilla essence

500ml double cream

300grm fresh raspberries

225grm fresh blueberries

Preheat the oven to 100°C and using baking parchment line an oven proof tray.

In a large mixing bowl whisk the egg whites with an electric hand whisk until stiff, gradually add the caster sugar a spoonful at a time and keep whisking.

When all the sugar has been added you should have a glossy meringue mixture that holds its shape. Fold in gently the vinegar, vanilla essence and cornflour.

Spoon the mixture on to the baking parchment creating a circle.

Place in the oven for 2 ½ hours to cook. Allow to cool before carefully removing the meringue from the paper.

Place the meringue on to a serving plate.

Place the cream in to a clean bowl and whisk until moderately stiff. Put the whipped cream on top of the meringue. Decorate with a mixture of the blueberries and raspberries and serve.

“ ”“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under

heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” Acts 4:12

Published by www.wordsbythewayside.co.uk Registered Scottish Charity SCO41290

Visit a Gospel Hall near you this week

your entire future: yet it is available to you at no cost whatever.It is a message that you may not like: yet you will never be able to forget it.And whether you believe it or not, it will a�ect you in life and in death.

First of all let me emphasise that this message is absolutely true, because it is God who said it. When God makes a statement you can a�ord to accept it, because He cannot lie. When God makes a promise, you can rest upon it, because His promises can never fail. God will not make you believe this message – that is your choice – but He will hold you responsible for having heard it.

Then let me tell you that this is a personal message to you. You cannot escape it. It brings you to the place of decision. You must either accept it or reject it. You must either say “I will” or “I will not”. You cannot be neutral.

Here, then, is the message. It is an exact quotation from God’s Word, the Holy Bible:

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but

have everlasting life. (John3:16)

Now, did you ever hear such wonderful words as these before? Are they not amazing? Just think for a moment what they say! They reveal three marvellous and thrilling facts.

I may never meet you personally, but there is something I want to tell you.It is of such importance that I would be unkind if I didn’t let you know: yet it is so simple that you can read it in a few minutes.It is so vital that it may change

First, “GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD!” since you are in the world, it means that He loved you. If that does not startle you, remember that when God loved you, He loved a sinner, because that is what you are.

The bible says that you are a sinner (Romans 3:23), and if you are honest you will agree. Now, although God loves you. He hates your sin. Sins will keep you out of Heaven, because God is holy and He must punish sin.

Thus a holy God must �nd a holy way of saving sinners. Otherwise the sinner must pay for his sins, and that would mean spending eternity in Hell.

The second great fact is this: “HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON”. The �rst statement tells you that God loved you. This statement tells you how much He loved you. He loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son! Do you know what that means? It means that the Lord Jesus Christ su�ered on the cross of Calvary so that you might be saved. He shed His blood so that your sins might be put away. He died for you so that you might live in Heaven forever. You see – someone must pay the penalty for sin, either you or a sinless substitute. God gave His Son so that He could be your sinless substitute.

And now for the third tremendous fact: “WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE”.

What could be more wonderful? Think of it! God gives eternal life to those who believe in Christ. The Saviour has �nished the work. He has died, has risen from the grave and gone back into Heaven.

Now your part is to believe in Him. This simply means that you should confess that you are a sinner, realise that Christ is willing and able to meet your need, and then receive Him as your Lord and Saviour.

This is the message which I had to tell you. Now you must make a decision. Will you accept Him or reject Him? Will you believe on Him or will you refuse Him? Will you bow humbly before Him or will you turn away in pride?

I may never meet you upon earth, but I hope I will meet you in Heaven. If you too will accept the sinner’s Saviour,

then you will be surely saved.

The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into His hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;

but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:35,36)

Specially for you!

Burgie International Horse Trials is Scotland's most northerly International Event running over four days in June each year and attracting thousands of local and other visitors. Olympic medalists compete alongside amateurs in the three International event classes, with riders such as Zara Phillips, William Fox-Pitt and Aussie, Andrew Hoy being past winners. There are plenty of classes for all the locals to enjoy competing amongst these Stars as, as well as the International and National Horse Trials, all 4 days of the competition provide exciting classes for less well known riders.

Saturday and Sunday are Family days when Bouncy Castles, kiddie quads, face painting, and all the fun of the fair. These activities take place alongside Saturday's Cross country, dog agility, Hawk display and terrier racing. On Sunday, Children can go for pony rides as well as watch the stars perform the last of their disciplines, the Show Jumping. The Cross Country runs again all day including classes where riders range from Olympians to locals competing against each other.

Shopping is another attraction as the Trade stands are there with many unusual wares not seen in a High street shop and there are plenty of delicious food outlets around the Arenas and out on the Cross Country course

Burgie has a long history of Equestrianism with Hamish Lochore, owner of the Estate serving as an officer in the Royal Scots Greys until 1972 when he brought his family home to Burgie. By then, his wife, Polly and he had ridden at Badminton & Burghley with Polly being part of the Gold Medal team which won for Great Britain in the European Championships in France. The 1st affiliated Horse Trials was held here in 1977 and, over the years, it grew to become an International Three Day Event in 1993. The 3 Lochore children were brought up at Burgie and grew up to ride at International level with Alec winning the best under 25 at Badminton, Burghley and Blair Castle in the same year, Hugh becoming a top International course designer and Clare riding and winning for Scotland alongside icon, Ian Stark. Alec has now risen to become Eventing Manager at next year's Olympic Games in London's Greenwich Park.

Burgie is, undoubtedly, a fascinating, interesting and rewarding place to visit at any time but especially when the Horse Trials are on. There is something for everyone – you can even stare at the amazing Medieval Castle right beside the Arenas & the Car Parks!

The award winning Huntly Peregrine Wildwatch Centre gives a wonderful opportunity to view one of our iconic and spectacular birds of prey close up and in their natural habitat. The site is an old quarry resulting from a volcanic magma chamber and is an Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in its own right. Scottish Natural Heritage are now designing interpretation highlighting the geology of the quarry.The centre has been open since 2002 and has grown in stature every year The site is regularly mentioned in local and national press and has also featured occasionaly on national TV. We have also won several prestigious awards for tourism and customer care including the highly acclaimed Scottish Thistle Award twice and the Northern Lights award. The centre is open daily from April to September, with all ability access and toilets. The interpreta-tive centre and hide are staffed by knowledge-able and friendly Forestry Commission staff and volunteers, ensuring the visitors' experience is a memorable one. We have CCTV coverage giving close up viewing of the nest site, peregrines, quarry and all it's inhabitants. Excellent viewing facilities within the quarry itself offer the visitor a rare insight into our wonderful north east wildlife. Feeding stations at the visitor centre and our top hide give visitors the opportunity to observe red squirrels, a huge array of woodland birds and last season we were really priviledged to view a family of pine martens at the feeding station, literally inches away from the viewing windows. Binoculars and telescopes are available for visitor's use if required.

Huntly RaptorsThe birds have also done really well with nineteen young peregrines (eyasses) successfully fledging over the past eight years. Eighteen of these have had rings fitted.Huntly Peregrine Wildwatch has so much to offer everyone from the serious bird watcher to a family outing or even a new experience for those not having had the opportunity to enjoy our wonderful countryside.We can also offer tailor made visits for schools and other groups. If you wish to visit the centre and discover what we can offer then get in touch with one of the wardens on 01466 760790.We also have places for volunteer wardens of all ages including junior volunteer wardens aged 12-16. THis is a project that has been very successful with many junior wardens returning year after year to the Centre. We are always looking to encourage and involve more volunteers in the project. If you are interested please visit the following FC Scotland website: www.forestry.gov.uk/huntlyperegrinesor contact the the Centre on01466 794161

travel Dreamingof...

Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia, and consequently there are many varied ways of travelling through it. Its scenic beauty has been planned on a grand scale. The people who built its cities have shared in the vision, providing a grandeur of their own. Its rural communities in mountain and lakeside settings and its towns in the midst of great national parklands are a joy to visit.

The creation of the Canadian Pacific Railway, sponsored by Forresian Donald Smith, later to become Lord Strathcona, connected Canada's commercial heartland in southern Ontario and Quebec right across to the Pacific coast including the building of some very fine hotels along the route. Now you can cross Canada from Vancouver to Toronto in 13 days, spending 2 days onboard the Rocky Mountaineer, 9 nts in hotel accommodation and 3 nts in the middle in luxury sleeping accommodation aboard a train.

You can also be tempted by a Rockies trip and an Alaskan Cruise – see the Rockies for a week by train and then come back to Vancouver on a cruise liner, staying on the ship when in Vancouver for a few days sightseeing – everything from Orca Whales to Stanley Park and the Capilano Bridge in Vancouver. Vancouver is a stunning city from the air, and there is a constant supply of sea planes to take you up for a good look at this fine city.

Other interesting parts of Canada include the Great Lakes in the regions of Toronto and Ontario, the Algoma Wilderness and the Algonquin National Park, formerly Indian country, and then there is the mighty St Lawrence River which flows past Canada's capital Ottawa to it’s cosmopolitan second city Toronto – along which you can cruise past Old Montreal, Upper Canada Village, Kingston and the Niagara falls.

Canada is very rich in beautiful scenery, whichever part you choose to explore and by whatever means.

Being local myself, I knew the Windsor Hotel had recently come under new management and from what I had heard their weekend carvery was extremely popular so I was intrigued to try it for myself. On arrival, there were a number of notices directing carvery guests to the bar. The meats available were turkey and beef, both looked appetising and juicy. Sides included roast and mashed potatoes, broccoli, carrots, Yorkshire puddings and stuffing – all of which looked fresh, unlike many ‘buffet’ style restaurants. Also available was a delicious-looking cauliflower and broccoli cheese bake. I opted for the turkey and loaded my plate with sides. There was a good selection of gravies and sauces available – all but the meat is self-service.

Back at the table, everyone was enjoying their meals – even the children were quiet! The turkey was gorgeous, tender and juicy and according to those who had chosen the beef it was just as good. There was a comment the mashed potato was very creamy and a similar texture and consistency to ‘Crème Pome’ The other vegetables were cooked al-dente and tasted fresh and full of flavour. On offer for dessert, as we were informed of a choice of three desserts including Plum Tart served with ice-cream, and Banana Spilt. These were reasonably priced at only £2.95 each. But with the children getting restless, we decided to give it a miss. The front areas – reception and bar – seemed bright and airy, and with it being such a sunny day the outside seating area and conservatory were

JuneTo many people, wildlife watching is about the “sexy” species – Deer, eagles, dolphins, squirrels etc. However, look a little closer and you will find many equally fascinating

creatures which are often overlooked. In particular, I look forward to the late spring when the first dragonflies and damselflies are on the wing. After spending the winter months in the nymph stage feeding voraciously at the bottom of a pond or stream, they climb up a convenient stalk of grass, shed their outer skin or exuvia and emerge as the magnificent insects we see hovering around our rivers and streams. From the spectacular gold ringed dragonfly with it's bright yellow and black rings to the beautiful greens of the elegant emerald damselfly, watching these amazing insects in flight is one of the most fascinating experiences in the natural world.

Dragonflies, one of natures greatest success stories have been around for 300 million years. That's longer than the dinosaurs! Fossils have been found of a dragonfly that had a wingspan of 60cm. Imagine meeting that monster in Glen Affric? Look out for them forming a “mating wheel” or females ovipositing in a pond or slow stream..

So what is the difference between a dragonfly and a damselfly? Simple. If it rests with it's wings at 90 degrees, it's a dragonfly. Wings parallel to the abdomen it's a damselfly. There is one exception to this rule but I’ll ignore it as it's a species not found in this area.

You'll find dragonflies and damselflies almost anywhere there is water but a great place locally is Glen Affric. Park at the Forestry Commissions Dog Falls car park and take a walk to the beautiful Coire Loch (about half an hour) where you will find a number species of both dragons and damsels. Species to look out for both here and elsewhere in the area are gold ringed, common hawker, four spotted chaser, black darter and highland darter dragonflies, and large red, common blue and emerald damselflies. A spectacular sight on a warm summers day is a large hatch of the common blues as the air is filled with flashes of a beautiful electric blue.

For more information on dragonflies, go to www.british-dragonflies.org.uk . Also, the Forestry commission run events led by a ranger which give a fascinating insight into the lives of these creatures. Since my last report, the Scoters have returned to Loch Garry, with rafts of 12 birds being seen on the loch and the Loch Lochy ospreys are constantly on the nest and hopefully sitting on eggs.Remember, if you have any stories or sightings you'd like to share, please drop me an e-mail at [email protected] .

recycle Buckie’s green hame!

THINKING OF throwing away a piece of furniture? Why not do it the easy way by contacting The Green Home in Buckie, which will gladly take it off your hands to be reused in the community.As long as its in good working order; the social enterprise at March Road Industrial Estate will collect it free of charge and sell it on.Manager Heath Gardner said

that The Green Home, which is

also a registered charity, will

take anything from furniture,

domestic appliances and

garden equipment to toys,

books and CDs.

The shop has three main aims.

The first is to prevent waste. The

shop will take most things, and

works a free collection service

in a 30-mile radius from Buckie,

which goes along the coast as

far as Macduff and to Turriff.

Once collected, the shop team

clean items and do any necessary

safety tests before being sold.

Its second aim is to help people on

low incomes, and offers discounts

on items to them.

The third aim is to create sustain-

able jobs in the area. Six people

are employed in the shop and it

also offers 13-week work

placements to the long - term

unemployed through the

Government’s New Deal

programme. Mr Gardner said he

has had huge success with the

hundreds of trainees who have

gone on to further education or

found jobs.

The shop space covers a massive

8000 square feet and is open to

the public Monday-Saturday from

10am-4pm.

Mr Gardner said: “We are in real

short supply of electric domestic

appliances, so things like cookers,

washing machines and tumble

dryers would be greatly appreci-

ated.

“It doesn’t matter if your washing

machine is 20 years old; if its in

good working order we will be

able to take it.

“Many think they have to give

them to the council to recycle, but

this is not the case as its your

property.

“Also a lot of outlets offer to take

your old appliances away, which

they send broad, so the local

community cannot benefit from

them.”

The shop has been going for five

years and has won multiple

awards for it work, and was the first

project in the Moray Recycling

Action Group.

Next time you are having a clear-out and want to get rid of unwanted items, give The Green Home a call on (01542) 839600.
