Bonfire Night

Sunday Morning Greetings from Far Sawrey....I am pleased to report that I feel much better today....Well bonfire night certainly got off to a bang here in the village this morning....The local builder who is working on a house next to the shop decided to have a fire this morning.... And doing his bit for global warming he managed to blow up an aerosol cannister that was hidden the bonfire.....OOOOOOOOOPPPPZZZZZZZZZZ...As you can imagine it made quite a bang and as for the smoke!!! All good fun, I am pleased to report there are no injuries other that the builders blood pressure that I imagine is through the roof!

The village has remained quite busy this week, the hotels and self catering cottages all report good trade and the shop is ticking along nicely...

News to report from Braithwaite Hall is that there is a Domino evening next friday the 10th of Nov starting at 7pm, for the bargain price of £3 you can have an evening in good company playing domino's combined with a homemade supper and a glass of wine or juice, finished off with a raffle...

One customer has just been in, I said...hello I have not seen you for a couple of days...sadly his brother died last week, and in the space of 72hours he has flown to Ottowa in Canada, attended the funeral and is now back for Sunday Morning in Sawrey! AMAZING!

Last night was the Bonfire and Fireworks in Hawkshead, what a spectacular evening it was, its a real cosy kind of bonfire in the heart of the lake district with a great fireworks display that equalled some much larger gatherings that I have been to in my time...whoever made the hungarian vegetable soup deserves a medal it was DELICIOUS!

Well I better get back to wading through the sunday papers, I start with the tabloids and work my way around to the broadsheets...Hope you all have a safe and fun bonfire night :-)
