Greetings from far Sawrey......its raining its pouring.......BUT the tray bakes have arrived! The Lavender shortbread is truly delicious and very very moreish......we also have plain shortbread, chocolate brownies, white chocolate brownies and apricot slices, one for every day of the week,...YUM YUM...

Last night we were invited to a dinner party to celebrate the anniversary of us being here at the shop, it was a great evening, great food and company and lovely champagne and lots of laughter, here is to many more years at the shop!

Benny is not well today :-( he is very lethargic and not himself at all, he is indoors keeping warm, perhaps he senses my anxiety about my case.....I have just telephoned the Court of Appeal in London and as yet no appeal has been lodged, but the council have until 4.30pm, thankfully the offices close at 5pm so I will call back later, all crossable bits are crossed!

Some more gifts ahve arrived today for the shop, they are sheepy fridge magnets and the chap who makes them fromt he north lakes has written Sawrey on them for us, they look great, I will try and remember my camera tomorrow!

Mum is down the lane today doing some rug making with some of the ladies in the village....

With all the faff about my case I forgot to mention that one of our friends and blog readers in Yorkshire has gone into hospital for an operation on her knee, I hope it heals quickly and wish you a speedy recovery Brenda... An ambulance came through the village the other day, no one seemed to know where it was heading, however I have heard today that it was for one of our customers from Near Sawrey who has had a nasty fall and broken her pelvis! OUCH! Get Well wishes been sent out to her too...

I have put a cut out of Miss Potter in the window today, fromt he promotional material, not sure what to write alongside it yet, suggestions from customers so far are for adult eyes only and incude "I know who stuffed Peter Rabbit" If you have seen the picture it is of Renee Zellweger promoting the film with her finger over her lips, the link is below........Suggestions in the comments box please! Best suggestion will win a little gift from Sawrey
