Greeted by a huge sawn-off-at-the-shoulder bloodied arm (Rousse)

House clearance woes (Rousse)
We truly believed that our days of house clearance were over. So we were all shocked when my brother-in-law and I unearthed yet more (mainly) junk hidden in an alcove of my childhood home. My brother-in-law took a fancy to … Continue reading

Top meeting venue (Rousse)
