Are you able to help Munro?

We need a little help please. During last half term, at the end of May, my three children and I were on our way from visiting one of my sisters in Leicester to the other sister in Cardigan and we stopped off in Ross on Wye for a one night stay. We stayed in the Kings Head ( what a lovely place ) and wandered down the high street looking for somewhere to eat. On the spur of the moment we went into Yaks and Yetis, sat on the floor and ate amazing food in the best atmosphere ever. One night became two and so on. By the end of the week, Ross on Wye and its' people, had sold itself to us, we voted and decided we had to live there/here.

We never got to Cardigan that week and we've been back to stay in Ross three more times since then. We've sold our house here in Exeter, and have had an offer accepted for a house in Ross. The children have all got places in school (one in John Kyrle High and two in Ashfield Primary, but it looks as though completion wont take place until mid to end of September and we need to be in Ross before term starts.

Here is where we need some help please. We need accommodation for a few weeks. Me, male 56, one daughter 14, one son 10, daughter 7, and our collie 9 ( if absolutely necessary, a friend has offered to look after our dog).

We are also looking for a secure store for our belongings. I particularly need somewhere to store my tools and general equipment and as the place we're buying has no garage, that may be on a longer term. If anyone can help with any of what we're looking for then we would be most grateful. We are looking forward to staying in the Kings Head again for the carnival next weekend and could meet anyone then.

Alan. I am happy for my e mail address to be published and my mobile phone number, but if you think that unwise then could contact through your newspaper be arranged? 07974 210001
