A Google search produced several suggestions, grandMattie, including this one:-

If time permits, it might be worth contacting local am dram groups to see if they’d like the baskets or pictures, etc for their Props Dept.

That's good news Mick. Warm drizzle against a brightening sky here in south Cornwall. It's the beginning of the gull nesting season and they are banging loudly on the skylights at all hours. This will go on until August when the babies fledge. My landlord installed anti-gull spikes on my flat roof last year and they nested between them! Clever birds. One of my bestest friends is coming round for coffee this morning, yippee.

You should see my place here in Sydney, getting organised for my trip to uk next week. Little piles, lists etc and it's 36 degrees!

Good morning, all, from a damp but mild Torbay.

It’s good to have your surgery details settled, Mick. Keyhole surgery will mean a smaller incision and a swifter recovery, I imagine. Keep warm and well over the next few days.

Yesterday at Wednesday Club, we reviewed last week's play, The Importance of Being Earnest. Nearly all the cast work so only “Lady Bracknell” attended to join in the discussion, most of which was very complimentary. Next week the regular host returns after a four week holiday so I shall be glad to hand back the reins to him!

Thank you very much for the kind, supportive comments from many of the Good Morning gang regarding DH's travel frustrations. They really helped me to cope with the disappointment. It’s a good thing travel wasn’t disrupted when I needed his support after my operation.

I hope everyone has as good a day as possible. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from E Kent.
That’s terrific, Mick, to have a date. And keyhole surgery! All the best.
My life is still in turmoil. The photos show what my house looks like.
DD and I worked away clearing out stuff. The garage was FULL of Philip’s stuff that DH couldn’t get himself to throw away. Does anyone know of a charity that’ll take old tools? I’ve got a ton of them…
The hygienist visit went well, if expensive as usual; we have no NHS dentists within reasonable reach. While I was there DD went to visit my old friend in the nursing home. She was beside herself with being visited. We also went to deliver a carload of ornaments etc., to a charity in Canterbury.
DD took me to lunch for an early Mothering Sunday present, it was lovely. After more sorting, we took a breather, then she left, only to realise that although the trains were running (strike today), the Tube wasn’t and had to have a complicated journey from st. Pancras to Paddington! At least she didn’t get hom3 at midnight…
I’ve got the electrician coming first thing to swap some light fittings. Spanish too, although my tutor is very forgiving of my lack of application - too busy and with no concentration.
I hope today brings comfort to those who need it, and contement to everyone else. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩❤️

Good Morning from down South
Air feels damp verging on rain?
Hope your operation goes very well Michael12.
