Greetings from Far Sawrey....The rain has left the village and the sunshine is out! Steady away day here in the shop, lots of japanese girls in looking for gifts.......

The new shop local bags have arrived this week, so many people still come into the shop and say they did not know we were here! Perhaps we need a marketing strategy! As the shop was closed for sometime before we came I sometimes think that people have got used to going elsewhere for things when they run out, hopefully word will keep speading that we are still here and plan to stay.

Benny has been taken out by some customers today, he loves it when people come in and say "does benny fancy a walk?" His ears perk up and he is off

Today is the day of the Brathy Marathon, One of our customers who was a marshall said that there were over 1300 people out running the 26miles around lake windermere this morning! A couple of our friends Pete and Andrea who own Head to the Hills in Ambleside are doing it http://www.headtothehills.co.uk/, Good Luck to all, plenty of hot baths tonight I imagine!

Another friend of ours is Annette who has a guest house in Windermere, she has today done the race for life......She has just sent a text to say she has completed it..........WELL DONE ANNETTE!!!! http://www.ellerdene.co.uk/

Thats about all for now, ice cream sales pending
