CHISWICK REPAIR CAFEI had a lovely lamp that stopped working a few years ago. I couldn't throw it away and hoped that one day I would get to fix it. I brought it to the Chiswick repair Café today which host free repair events. I found the date and details of the event on the website Restart which helps to find repair events everywhere In the UK. Turns out I needed to change the fuse of the plug (who knew plugs had fuses...)! That's now giving me idea of more things to repair like clothes I hold in a corner waiting to be mend!
