WinacopyofDizzy's DiarybyAnnSalmon

Written by local author Ann Salmon

Dizzy is a Romanian street dog who was brought to England for a better life, which is all new and scary. It is a funny, sad and utterly bewildering tale of readjustment; and she is supported, or not, by Candy the resident collie. Dizzy has to come to terms with an apparently endless stream of friends and family who react to her in different ways, and cause her even more confusion. Author Ann Salmon, has been interested in dogs since she was three and enticed a neighbour’s dachshund under the fence, and have owned, trained, worked (and occasionally won) and bred border collies for decades. Ann has done many activities with this breed, which has given her an opportunity to study them. Ann Salmon resides in the village of Washington and was trained as a nurse in London, but there wasn’t any part-time working for married women so eventually she did other things instead: running her own catering company, and helping set up a Pre-School Playgroup in the 1960s.

Bespoke jewellery as unique as you are, crafted in Ditchling

A new lease of life for unworn precious metals Redesign your old jewellery into something special with Pruden and Smith’s Creative Director, Rebecca Smith, who has 30 years experience in working with precious metals and gemstones. If you have got an old piece of jewellery that’s no longer worn - perhaps it’s no longer your style, doesn’t fit, or it’s damaged - Pruden and Smith’s redesign service is a cost-effective, creative and ethical way to bring new life into your precious metals and gemstones. Pruden and Smith client, Deborah Barton, describes her new ring as “unique and so special, something that nobody else in the world has got”. More than just a beautiful ring, having been made from jewellery she inherited from her mother, her aunt, and grandmother, it also holds the memory of her family. What to expect at a design appointment Bring your old jewellery to discuss its sentimental value and test the quality of the metals and gemstones. Rebecca will help you explore ideas for redesign, using her expertise to create an authentic piece that expresses your identity.

During your appointment take a free Workshop Tour to gain insight into the world of a contemporary jeweller. You’ll also learn about Pruden and Smith’s heritage and connection with the Arts and Crafts history of the village of Ditchling. Following your appointment, you will be sent a quote containing designs and pricing options. When you feel ready to proceed, your bespoke jewellery will be handmade by the expert team at Pruden and Smith’s Ditchling Workshop.
