THE BIG THAW

28 years we'd had that freezer. It cost £173.45, which in today's money is £430.87. It served us well.

Our food, that which was still frozen, is spread between freezers in 3 nearby houses, until a new one is delivered on Wednesday.

Would anyone like some bread, white, brown or garlic, rolls, muffins, crumpets, raspberries, blackberries .........

We ate the croissants for breakfast.
