I was househunting in Margate, yes- all my stuff is there now in a storage unit, but househunting in a seaside town over summer is not exactly the easiest.
I dunno where the summer school is yet- the company runs it at a few different uni campuses and I said I didn’t really mind which I was assigned to.
My mum used to bake/decorate cakes as a side business, and used to hire out similar character tins from a local shop (with a terrifying clown puppet hung up as a decoration in the stairwell). I always remember her scrubbing them like mad before returning them to not get in trouble with the shop.
