Greetings from far Sawrey, ....its another outstanding morning here, the sun is shinning and the birds are eating all of the nuts...........Good job we have 20kg of bird nuts for sale :-)

Unfortunately the van would not start again this morning......then again I was having trouble starting as it was bitterly cold, called out an RAC man, thought Alan and his dad deserved a break, they have done so much for us......anyway......the RAC man has filled a new battery, fingers crossed it will be ok now.......

Renovations in the shop are still underway.......mum varnished some more shelves yesterday, varnishing them reallt does make a difference to the way the shop looks........

Have just noticed that the bananas are outside with the rest of the vegetables, as its sub zero temperatures I better go bring them in and wrap them up and keep them snug....

We popped into the sawrey hotel for a drink after work last night, it was quite busy for a t time, decided as its been one of those weeks we would have a glass or two of wine, well mum did, I was driving, still it was a nice atmosphere........

The Braithwaite Hall Bonus Ball has been won by a man in the next village this week...the committee bought mum and I two plants to say thankyou for selling the bonus ball.....put one of them in the window of the shop and someone tried to buy it yesterday and whats even funnier is mum nearly sold it!!! Dont know what she was thinking... DOH!!!

Happy Sunday

PS.........The jury is still out on the worry sheep ;-)
