Good Afternoon from a balmy Sawrey, I am not sure if its the heat of the sun or the heat of Miss Potter pilgrims on the road between this village and the next, Bonkers is an understatement, Having had to queue 15minutes each way just to do a quick errand, I know how everyone is feeling........

Busy day here so far, fruity market was under staffed so it was each man/woman for themselves

This weeks exotic fruit is a pear from China called a Ya pear,
"The Chinese White Pear (白梨 bái lí) (Pyrus x bretschneideri) is a naturally-occurring interspecific hybrid species of pear native to northern China, where it is widely grown for its edible fruit. These very juicy, white to lightly yellow pears, unlike the round Nashi pears, also grown in eastern Asia, are shaped more like a European Pear with a narrower, elongated base. They taste like a cross between a rose and a pineapple, and are crisp and sweet from the tree. 'Ya Li' is one cultivar widely grown in China, and has been exported to Europe and North America"

A bargain at only 20p a pear! Having sold out of strawberries quick sharpe last week we have bought trays and trays of them, the shop smells like a strawberry farm!

Cannot believe it is the end of May already! Time certainly does fly, wish it would fly in respect of my case, it has been decided today that the final hearing in repsect of it will be held in OCTOBER! I protested that the length of time was unfair but October it is, that will be one year and seven months since the judgement was originally handed down.....Ho Hum...

Sandwiches are flying out of the shop this afternoon, they were only delivered at 12 and already there is only a couple left...

Thats about all for now folks :-)
