<p>At the end of April 2024, I will be driving a 4x4 Pick-up to Ukraine for a Charity, Pickups for Peace. My co-driver for the 1,500 mile trip is Rory Graham who lives in North Cheriton.</p>
<p>We will be leaving the vehicle in Ukraine.</p>
<p><strong>We are looking for the following humanitarian aid items, which the Ukrainians desperately need. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Can you donate any of these items from your garage, shed or cupboards?…</strong></p>

<p></p> Leigh Common Filling Stationtag:penselwood.ning.com,2024-02-06:6557379:Topic:614112024-02-06T17:30:21.707ZAdminhttps://penselwood.ning.com/profile/Admin
Hello all<br />
<br />
When I was a boy - about 150 years ago - I had a temporary job at the now very much dilapidated Leigh Common Filling Station, and as Leigh Common is in the parish of Pen I thought I’d ask if anyone knows what happened to Albert and daughter Carol Hoskins who farmed in Leigh as well as ran the petrol station?<br />
<br />
I imagine Albert is now looking down on us but I’ve often wondered if Carol is still with us, albeit I recall she decamped to Australia at one stage.<br />
<br />
It would be interesting to…

It would be interesting to know what became of them.<br />

Thanks and all the best<br />

<p><span>Dear Friends</span><br/> <br/> <span>I'm sending out the following to everyone I can think of! I hope you</span><br/> <span>don't mind.....</span><br/> <br/> <span>After my daughter Katy's recent divorce, she had to move house and I,</span><br/> <span>too, am having to remove my living wagon from her yard in north</span><br/> <span>Cornwall. I made it five years ago. The base was the wooden, wheeled</span><br/> <span>base for a Victorian agricultural machine. I bought it from David</span><br/> <span>Mlnaric in Somerset. I built a large cabin onto the base with a</span><br/> <span>clerestory window under the roof and with two full length windows and</span><br/> <span>the door along the long side. On one short side is an oriel window.</span><br/> <span>Apart from the front I have clad the other three sides with corrugated</span><br/> <span>iron.</span><br/> <br/> <span>Inside there is a tiny shower room (no shower fitted yet) and loo plus</span><br/> <span>a bed-sitting room with a compact kitchen with a sink on a unit. It</span><br/> <span>has been connected to mains electricity and water and into a septic</span><br/> <span>tank via a macerator. The interior needs some painting and</span><br/> <span>decorating. The whole thing is 20 ft. by about 8 ft. It looks like a</span><br/> <span>large shepherd's hut. Photos of it unfinished, below.</span><br/> <br/> <span>If I won the lottery I would buy a little piece of land on which to</span><br/> <span>keep it so that I could visit it regularly! But realistically I need</span><br/> <span>to sell it or else I will dismantle it. Katy has just sadly asked me</span><br/> <span>if I can move it within two weeks. Perhaps you could pass this on to</span><br/> <span>anyone you think might be interested. If it is of no interest, I'm</span><br/> <span>sorry to have bothered you.</span><br/> <br/> <span>All the best, James Alexander</span></p>
