from storms to snuff

Good windy morning from hurricane sawrey! Well it is not windy at the moment but by the look of the brolly outside the shop sawrey endured a freak hurricane last night! I am to blame tho for not putting the brolly down before going home..........oooooooooooopzzz... I knew it had been a bad weather night when I woke up and looked outside and ther stream was doing its finest lake impression

Anyway I am pleased to report that a customer who lives just down the road saw the brolly in bits and came back up with a brolly exactly the same from his garage that he no longer uses, that is now up, the old one has had its fabric removed from mothers textile work and the frame is chopped up and drying out ready to go on a neighbours fire...recycling or what!!!

Sawrey Stores now has snuff for sale! the shop with everything from saffron to snuff!......I have for the first time in my life tried some of the snuff and it certainly clears your tubes out!!! I have also learned that Kendal was once the epi-centre of the snuff world! Shoes and snuff hey!

Mother is safely back from teaching in yorkshire and is today giving a talk to the WI ladies of Hawkshead, there is a parish council meeting in the village and also a soup lent lunch is been served at a customers house called Ash Landing between 12 and 2 (all welcome I am told)

Our congratulations go out to our neighbours here at the shop, they are today celebrating 25years of marriage! Congratulations from Sawrey Stores

Thats about all for now folks :-)
