Today is a day when words are hard to find, one of our customers and friends has lost his courageous battle for life this afternoon. Willie Muir was one of the very first customers into this shop shortly after we opened. We remember him with a fond smile and a cheeryness from the first to the last time he came into the shop. He truly has fought a courageous battle with his illness.

Willie and his little son Robert came into the shop on a saturday for their chocolate Raisins and papers and we always had a laugh. Willie is the man who sold us the van and from which the fruiti business was born. Everyone in the shop this afternoon has happy memories of their time with Willie.

Sawrey is a sad place this afternoon
