22.01.2022 Hi everyone, stay safe and have a good day!!

21.01.2022 Forgot to add something to my previous post. We have had a great donation of brand new plus size clothing at fantastic prices - t shirts, dresses, tops, shorts and jeans......Come in and grab a bargain!!

17.01.2022 Child - "How old are you, Grandpa?" Grandpa - "I'm 81, dear." Child - "So does that mean you were alive during the Coronavirus?" Grandpa - "Yes, I was." Child -... "Wow. That must have been horrible, Grandpa. We were learning about that at school this week. They told us about how all the schools had closed. And mums and dads couldn't go to work so didn't have as much money to do nice things. They said that you weren't allowed to go and visit your friends and family and couldn't go out anywhere. They told us that the shops ran out of lots of things so you didn't have much bread, and flour, and toilet rolls. They said that Easter holidays were cancelled. And they told us about all those thousands of people that got very sick and who died. They explained how hard all the doctors and nurses and all essential workers worked, and that lots of them died, too. That must have been so horrible, grandpa!" Grandpa - "Yes, that is all correct, but I was just a kid back then. But to tell you the truth I remember it differently... I remember playing in the garden for hours with mum and dad and having picnics outside and lots of bbqs. I remember making things with my Dad and baking with my Mum. I remember learning how to do hand stands and back flips. I remember having quality time with my family, even when they were being my teachers. I remember Mum's favorite words becoming 'Hey, I've got an idea...' Rather than 'Maybe later or tomorrow I'm a bit busy'. I remember making our own bread and pastry, growing our own vegies and having fresh eggs from our new chooks. I remember having movie night three or four times a week instead of just one. I remember we got to put our Christmas lights up in the middle of the year, just because we wanted to. It was a horrible time for lots of people you are right. But I remember it differently." Remember how our children will remember these times. Be in control of the memories they are creating right now, so that despite all the awful headlines and emotional stories they will come to read in their future years, they can only actually remember the happy times.

09.01.2022 Well, it's happened again!! So, Andy's Place is now closed again indefinitely. Certainly the safety of all our loyal customers and volunteers is our priority. It was so lovely to catch up with everyone again in the last two weeks and had the shop looking great with all new stock and displays. So, please everyone stay home, take care and stay safe......

05.01.2022 WELL, FINALLY IT'S GOOD NEWS FROM ANDY'S PLACE !! We are open for business from today, but on reduced hours at the moment. We still have look after our volunteers, but our Covid safe shop is ready to go. We look forward to seeing all our loyal customers again.

05.01.2022 I think this is quite relevant in the times we are all going through

03.01.2022 Sorry, I forgot the most important part, thanks Sarah. Our new hours will be - Tuesday/Wednesday - 10am - 1.00pm Thursday/Friday - 1.00pm - 4.00pm... See you soon.....
