They would have looked just the thing in our old house, but in this one there is just a modern brick "recess" where there used to be a fireplace, which has a gas "stove" in it, and the chimney above it is now a cupboard.

Isn't that outline stitching a good idea? Really gives a focus to those Granny's Gardens.

Here in Builth our busy PO is in a lovely shop which sells all sorts, but especially pretty table linen and kitchen ware, mugs, bowls, pictures, local books and maps and at the back, bedlinen. I think you need a spread of things to make a PO shop viable. A few bits of stationary don't hit the mark.
