Lost near the pond: one wooden walking stick, ash, with a brass band around the handle and a dent where it met a cattle grid at speed. It was not being used for walking at the time, it was being used to point at a duck, which is how these things happen. If found, it is the only stick in Haddenham that smells faintly of varnish and regret.

- Imelda Crowther, domestic and small commercial electrics, sockets moved, lights hung, fuse boards explained slowly and without sighing. I will fit any ceiling fixture you have bought online, including the one with eleven arms that arrived in a box marked FRAGILE and was not. Rewires taken on from Aylesbury to Thame, and I turn up on the day I said, which I am told is a selling point rather than a baseline.Box C025
- For sale: one static caravan awning, blue, fits a caravan we no longer possess, having sold the caravan to a man in Long Crendon who did not want the awning. It has been put up exactly once, on the drive, in April, by two adults who stopped speaking for a full afternoon. Erected it is the size of a small marquee; folded it is the size of a sleeping labrador and roughly the same weight. Collection only, and bring somebody you already dislike.Box C021
