Self-isolation saviours HOW ARE YOU PLANNING TO SPEND YOUR TIME STUCK INSIDE? FROM BOOK DELIVERIES AND CRAFT SUPPLIES TO GOURMET TREATS AND WINE – LOCAL BUSINESSES ARE ON HAND WITH SOME LITTLE LUXURIES TO HELP GET YOU THROUGH...
GET BOOKED UP One thing you’ll definitely need to get you through quarantine is some great books. Need inspiration? We’ve got plenty of recommendations on our website at cambsedition.co.uk (search ‘Book Club’), but if you can’t leave the house to go out and buy them, don’t panic. If you can’t make it to Trinity Street, Heffers can post books to you: call 01223 463200 or email customerorders@heffers.co.uk with details of your order. For Saffron Walden dwellers, indie booksellers Harts can help: call the shop on 01799 524552. Payment can be made over the phone and the books will be delivered straight to your door.
WINE TIME Nights out at bars might be a thing of distant memory, but that doesn’t mean you have to drink subpar booze. Ever the innovators, the team from drinks shop Thirsty has launched a virtual marketplace, stocking treats from their expansive selection of craft beer and great wine, alongside Brew Project coffee, Guerrilla Kitchen DIY bao kits and more. Indie wine specialist Thorne Wines, meanwhile, has a huge and delicious selection of premium wines, and will deliver for free around Cambridge, plus it’s offering ‘care packages’ of great wines that include a tip for your favourite restaurant.
TAXI HEROES Although you’ll likely not be needing them to get out and about, Camcab is still putting its fleet of taxis to good use and supporting the most vulnerable members of the community. The company released a statement saying: “We are dedicated to supporting our local community and valued customers. If you are 70 or over and in need of groceries, then we are here to help! We will transfer your groceries from the supermarket to your doorstep. This service is free of charge during this difficult time. Call us on 01223 704704 and find out how we can help.” camcab.co.uk
