The popular cafe started in the town nearly three years ago and joined a movement of around 4,000 worldwide.
When it started it imagined people would bring in their sick toasters and hedge trimmers and leave able to trim their hedge and enjoy a piece of toast afterwards.
Quite a range of volunteers run the café: the repairers, café staff and front-of-house and they were surprised by two things: the variety of things people bring to our door and the stories behind those items.
The other lovely story was one of generosity.
Alastair, one of the long-standing repairers fixed a mobile “Christmas Village” decoration.
The reindeer moved again, the lights lit and the tunes played.
Mary the owner of the decoration said her children had out-grown it and would Alastair like it for his own family.
Maybe no tears this time, but there was a surprise bout of hay fever in January…
