Hi, I lived in Market Harb, my daughters did too but now they all have moved out, the youngest is not far away though, the middle daughter had Campbells, they got eaten by the fox though  :( , she bought hers from some one in Melton...I wonder who else is from there?

I am, or was from Melton :)


I suggest they go to the cattle market next Tuesday and ask around the bird cages or egg sales for the breeders as someone will know and point you in the right direction

and lost workers walking around with a sausage buttie  ;)
I got a job in Melton Social work team but it went pants up due to my previouse job,, but i was sort of glad as it was a hard town to get in or out of at rush hour, other wise, loved going to Melton.

Just noticed this, do you mind saying what they sold for? There is the Thrapston Farmers market here, I just saw some weaners sell for only £8.00 each! - middle whites I believe!
