Royal friday

Good rainy afternoon from far Sawrey...the heavens have just opened as I begin typing, its just gone really dark despite it only being 2pm!

Its Westmoreland Gazette day today and we sell lots of them on a friday....Another popular seller today is sweet potatoes, they look odd but taste delicious!

There has been much talk of the new blog/web site that Prince Charles has set up this week, I have just taken a look at it, its interesting to read his speeches in full, especially the ones about rural communities, something he is a great supporter of, anyway i will post a link to his site for you to judge for yourself if you haven't already http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/

Tonight is darts and dominoes at the tower bank arms aiming to raise money for the tarn hill trust, I have never thrown a dart in my life, but will pop along and give it a go as its for charity. The mobile mechanic has just been and done the work on my car to prepare it for its MOT, he is extremely handy as he comes here and does the work whilst I am at work....

Had an email from the girl who lived in the village for the summer and grew the giant marrow...she is safely back home in germany and is undertaking a course in leisure and tourism with the hope of becoming a tour guide, it was really nice to hear from her

Mother has set me up making fabric christmas reeths for her rug making classes, so I better get back to it....Keep Dry its wet out there! :0)
