Fish food for outdoor pond fish

Dear

Fish food for whales or goldfish!

See attached picture of fish food I bought for our pond  goldfish but they don`t like it, even though two pet shops say they should.  So we have reverted to fish flakes which they definitely prefer.

So this bag of fish food for pond fish is here for the taking.  Email to say when you want o pick it up.

Dear Blogger

Message from James Bond at Oswestry Film Society

Keeping cinema alive in Oswestry

October sees start of showing four films a month

The OFS are delighted to welcome on board our additional film programmers.
We will still bring you the best films we can, but It means the range, topics, themes and genres can grow. Forthcoming screenings are listed below.
And of course, the best way to watch a film is on the big screen, in company, and in a welcoming environment - and that's what the Oswestry Film Society will always provide in the absence of a full-time cinema in town.

  • Wed Oct 9 - Back To Black (15)
  • Wed Oct 16 - Funny Cow (15)

Ruyton XI Towns History website - The Victoria Rooms

Dear Blogger

Ruyton XI Towns History Website https://www.eleventowns.uk/history.html

Anyone who is interested in the history of our village will find loads of articles on this website.  I was a bit lax about adding more stories last winter as I was busy on our autobiography, but this winter I am fired up and am working on several articles on all sorts of subjects.

The first of the new articles is 

 THE VICTORIA READING ROOMS which you will find under Houses and Buildings.

I hope you enjoy reading the articles about Ruyton XI Towns in https://www.eleventowns.uk/history.html
