Country Living: Our Man in Arundel

Well, I think it's time I wrapped things up on the Country Living blog. I'm heading back to my personal blog (i.e. here), although it's not usually updated as frequently as I've been doing with the Country Living stuff.

Still, I have good news to leave Country Living readers with. I've rediscovered Arundel's disappearing hardware shop, which has moved in with the craft and bric-a-brac stalls in a converted chapel. A slightly odd choice, even though I'm sure it makes good financial sense.

The car's in for a service - fingers are crossed that nothing (else) seriously wrong will be found. If all's relatively well, I'll get it fixed and will be happy. If not, it'll be time for another chat with the slippery-as-a-greased-snake trader who sold me the car.

And yes, I do think that the Country Living blogging competition was handled badly. But that's all water under the bridge for me. Good luck to all CL's bloggers... and thank you everyone for reading & commenting on my life. This is Del Arun in Arundel signing off from www.countryliving.co.uk
