1 . When Holly Ford walked past a long disused phone box on the outskirts (郊区) of her home village, an idea began to form which _______ her love of baking with a new use for the box, which at that point was _______ by almost everyone.
“It’s been amazing how much support we had,” said Holly, who got_______ from the community council to use the call box. Others have _______ the ‘‘Adopt A Kisosk” scheme (方案) run by British Telecom where it is possible to buy a phone box for as little as £1 and _______it to new uses.
“Nobody told us it wouldn’t work, but a few locals did think that people would just_______ themselves to cakes without paying”
These _______ proved to be wholly unfounded. The honesty box has always been used correctly by customers, with the box remaining entirely _______.
“It’s a busy stretch of road for traffic in the summer,” Holly remarks. “And we do get quite a few_______ that people leave for us saying how much they like the idea.”
Only open during the summer months, Holly has turned the box into layers of ________ for her cakes and other local produce. Able to make close to £100 a day, she also ________ regular charity bakes (烘烤参会) in the community.
“I’m not sure the honesty box approach would ________ in a more urban area. But for where we live it’s perfect and it’s surprisingly easy to make something like this happen. It’s important to introduce the work on social media and to keep your ________ in the idea.”
Cakes In The Call Box also puts Holly in the position to judge which cakes most________ the taste of passing travelers with a sweet tooth.
“The brownies are the go-to, always,” she tells me, “though I do like ________ the range. I’m working on Swedish buns with cardamom at the moment. Maybe next summer they’ll be in the box!”
