Good Morning from Far Sawrey, apologies for my absence this week, I am not too well, I have had a really bad infection in my arm and a high temperature, 8 antibiotics and 16pain killers a day Iater I am coming round. Doctor asked if I was under any stress, I said, how long have you got! :-) anyway, I have asked for an extension for the paper work I have to do for my case, sensing their is no urgency as the council got the remedies hearing postponed until October due to staff holidays..........its been a long holiday for them as far as I am concerned as I won my case some 19months ago, its a tactic they have been allowed to use and it seems really unfair to make someone wait so long for closure....anyway.......

On a happier note a customer of ours Mr Ives has just been in and he is today celebrating his Golden Wedding anniversary! WOW!!! he and his wife are so lovely and always have a smile on their faces, compromise is the key I am informed......GOOD ADVICE hey! he is having a bit of a do at the Sawrey Hotel this afternoon....

Someone has just been in the shop and asked if we sold coat hangers! Unfortunatley not was my reply, they said their holiday cottage only had 20 hangers! I am sensing that they have brought the contents of their wardrobe on holiday!

The rain seems to be giving us a morning off today which is nice, gives the fruit and veg a chance to get out... I am expecting the power to go off any moment, their are some young calfs in the field over the road and they are chewing at the power cables, I have been out and tried to get them to move away but they remain having a good old munch!

Breakfast pictures today, inspired by the many many breakfast products that we seem to see on a sunday morning, we have also just about sold out of bread and all of the bath buns have left the building....24 loaves and 24 bath buns in just over an hour is some going!

Thats about all for now folks, back home to rest my arm
