Spring Clean

Spring Clean 11th April 2010

Blue skies and glorious sunshine greeted us for our Spring Clean. It could not have been a more perfect day.

Our Spring Clean was well attended and lofts, garages, spare rooms, etc have been cleared out!

There was a great crowd in attendance, and the day was a roaring success, and lots of fun.

Here are some mementos of the day. (Try clicking on the collage to enlarge photos.)

Attempted Break-In at Kirkton Stores

Attempted Break-In at Kirkton Stores

At around 1.30 am on Monday 22nd March 2010, Heather and Sandy were wakened by their dog Murphy's barking. Upon investigation they discovered that someone had broken a window and attempted to break in to their property. Fortunately this attempt was thwarted by the noise from little Murphy. Heather and Sandy are fine, and nothing was stolen.

Heather wishes to warn everyone to be on the alert, and make sure that their cars and property are secure from now onwards.

PLEASE CHECK THAT EVERYTHING IS LOCKED SECURELY AT NIGHT!
IF YOU SEE OR HEAR ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS, CALL THE POLICE.
