Goooooooooood Afternoon........Wet day in the village today, only the brave out walking..I have been to Kendal to get some bits for our party on saturday night, going to celebrate the shops first birthday and my birthday....

Had to laugh coming back over on the ferry, the ferry man came and had a chat and said thank goodness you have got a van, you and your mother looked like you had just done a bank job in the other little car filled with stock............still laughing as its so very true!

Shortbread and white chocolate brownie going down very well, we are now onto the home made flapjack.....YUM YUM......My friend who makes all of these delicious cakes is making the puddings for our party on saturday night....PARTY ON!!!

The daffodils are all starting to pop up in the village, they are in abundance all over the village, daffodils combined with the snowdrpos its all blooming in a very winter kind of way....ONe of our customers has a front garden full of yellow winter aconites which look really spectacular....Hoping this year to do some work on the garden here at the shop, the trays of bedding plants we sold year went very well....The birds here outside the shop are getting quite cheeky and are coming to the ledge outside the shop and literally singing for their supper! Mother thinks she heard a woodpecker today, not sure if there are woodpeckers in sawrey, or maybe I am just nieve!

Time to shut up shop for now :-)
