Retties & Co. - Property Review
Rob Taylor, Associate Director

If you were to believe everything you read and hear it would be understandable to presume that not a single house had sold this year and all sellers are desperate and will do anything to try and get a buyer.
The reality behind all the negative press and gossip is, not surprisingly, different...

Help Harry in his Great Ormond Street Hospital quest...
Harry is like any other 8 year old boy, he is happy, loving, full of mischief, loves playing with his friends and is an avid celtic supporter. Harry was born with Hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain) which was only diagnosed until he was 16 months old. He also has left sided weakness in his arm and leg and is partially sited.
Harry had a Hemispheroctomy at the Great Ormond Street Hospital in 2011. As a way of saying a big thank you to the hospital, Harry is trying to raise funds.
Karen Reid Designs of Melrose is organised an Easter picture and Easter bonnet event with Earlston Primary school to help Harry in his quest.
A catwalk event was held at Earlston Primary school on the 20th April for the children to show of their creations. The Cocktail experience was there to show off their cocktail skills and serving 'Mocktails' - non-alcoholic cocktails.
The night was a great success with over £1500 raised for the charity.
