Greetings from far sawrey, its another fantastic day here today, the sun is shinning and it is truly lovely out there!
News from Braithwaite hall is that over £300 was raised over the holiday weekend from serving cream teas! Well done ladies! Everyone worked so hard! Soon I believe they will be able to "buckle yeat" at the hall as the funds raised enough to buy half a gate!
Benny and all at Sawrey Stores send Norman get well wishes, he went into hospital over four weeks ago, he got over what he went in with and is still in as he has developed a hospital bug and is having to endure barrier nursing, poor norman, we send you all of our love for a speedy recovery....
We got some exciting exotic fruit from the market this week, they are called "rambutans" they taste like a lychee and they have gone down well in the village http://www.rambutan.com/

The only problem with going to the fruit market is that we are in undated with cardboard boxes here at the shop, thankfully though we have solved that problem this week with the discovery of a woman in millom who recycles cardboard, she supplies cages which you fill and when they are full she comes and collect it for a small fee, she even takes wet cardboard! we are really happy knowing the cardboard is going to get recycled rather than into some landfill site. We also got quite a lot of bedding plants this week and they are selling really well....
Mother has gone to Ambleside to pick up the tray bakes today, they too are selling really well, its good for walkers who want to take chocolate up onto the hills as the chocolate and white chocolate brownies do not melt in your bag! Genius idea!
Hi ho hi ho back to ice cream selling I go...........Happy thursday :-)
