Friday

Good morning...its a dry start to the day here...a customer picking up his papers this morning was pleased to report that he had seen a red squirrel down the lane. Benny is not at the shop today, its his birthday (10) so mother has taken his for his favourite walk along the shore of the lake. The local newspaper headline today is about many of our local hospital's services been moved to Barrow or Lancaster. That seems like a long way to travel from the heart of the lake district in an emergency! Have taken delivery of a new range of baking sundries today, its nice to see dried fruit that is unsulphered and cherries that are not bright red. There was an article in the paper earlier in the week regarding the pattern on the tins of treacle and golden syrup, saying that it is the only product never to have changed over the years! Well it looks great on the shelves here I have to say.
Will take a picture of the new stock and try to post it......
