Sunday....

Good wet and windy morning from far sawrey!
Blowing a gale is an understatement! Thankfully I managed to get the inserts into the papers before the heavens opened fully....Have to do it outside as there is not a spare surface in the shop now, what with all of the logs and vegetables inside and of course all of the bread and bath buns as it is bread day....must say, all of this stock indoors is like insulation, its quite warm in here at the moment! :-)
We popped along to the Hawkshead xmas festival on friday evening, it was great!!! ALL of the shops stayed open late and there were street stalls all around the village, men on stilts and lots of mulled wine to sample.....the hog roast was excellent! Santa even popped into the village to get the lists off the hawskhead children ready for xmas day....It was a really nice atmosphere in the village, the free samples of hawkshead beer, mulled wine, curry and pickles helped the festivities along nicely............then I spotted a sign at the hawkshead clothing shop offering 30% off everything.......came out with new wellies and new rain mac...wanted the wellies covered in flowers but unfortunately they did not have my size......might pop back today and get some wooly socks..I know how to party hey!
Nearly sold out of bacon this morning...logs and bacon butties seem to be the order of the day in the village today.....and quite rightly...it certainly is not a day for much else.....
I am looking forward to going to the panto in hawkshead on thursday evening, its ALadin and lots of customers are in it, apparently thursday night is Sawrey night at the pant, will try and take some pics for the blog...
I dont feel like I did the mobile mechanic who fixed my car justice the other day on the blog, and after receiving the bill and I still smiling, he is a true professional and as his overheads are lower than a garage as he is mobile so it keeps costs down, which is excellent! There was no inconvenience as he came here...He drove my car over to windermere for its MOT, fixed what needed fixing and brought it back with a new MOT and its working like a dream.....

Tomorrow night it is Bingo in Hawkshead and its to raise money for Braithwaite Hall in the village here....
The triple rollover has been won by a customer who lives down the road in Cunsey....I phoned him up and gave him the good news this morning, he was thrilled and said "good things come to those who need em" Well Done!
This morning there is a chruch service in the village, I cannot go as I am always in the shop on a sunday morning, the only sermon I hear is the one from Steve Wright on the radio...

Wrap up and keep warm everyone :-)
