Last week of this post! Happy to take a little less on those still available. The £8 can be £6 plus postage if that helps to move them on? 
Nepal  is really suffering atm. Community Action are running an extra appeal to raise funds for more nurses as the walk to hospitals and health centres is so far and arduous.
