A WARMINSTER couple got the shock of their lives when they walked into their brand new kitchen. Pensioners Eileen Appleby, 71, and her husband Ken, 72, found a four centimetre-long locust perched on a cupboard door. “We found the locust on Friday on a cupboard door in our new kitchen. We’ve got no idea how it got there. “Behind the cupboard door is a bin where we put leftover food, so we were wondering whether the food in bin gave off a certain smell. “We’ve put it in an old coffee jar and Ken punched some holes in the top,” said Mrs Appleby, of Upper Marsh Road.
