Re: Woodwares closing / Sainsburys coming to Portobello

What is a NIMBY?

Sad to see Woodwares close though. :(

It was a worry, we thought we had lost her at one point. Today she has been out all day playing with friends and visiting family. You would have never guessed she was just out of hospital. :D

I'll bump it up nearer the time, as it's 2 months away.

I used Gilmore Lewis for buying and selling and he never let me down and they use the property shop to do the advertising via the ESPC. 8)
