It's a beautiful frosty morning out there. Do wrap up warm if you are heading out, don't forget your gloves.......those people who I keep nagging at, you know who you are!

The shop is open till 12 today. Hot sausage rolls, pasties etc are cooked and in the hot counter and don't forget we also do teas and coffees- happy to fill flasks

Hope everyone has a good Sunday

One more sleep till The Big Man comes!

We have fresh tiger bread in today, the shop smells lovely!

Also for those last minute pressies may I suggest some lovely homemade fudge or possibly some local ales.

And don't forget the batteries 😉

Hi All

Just to let you know that the post office card machine is back up and working again 😀😀

23/12/2024

Morning All - 2 sleeps 😀😀

Today is the very last day you can post anything to get it there for Christmas Day. You have until 4.45pm to get those last minute cards, presents, important papers here to Tracey to get them sent off to arrive by 1pm tomorrow

Other things to check off that Christmas List:- I'll start......

Batteries - avoid upsetting the kiddies on Christmas morning
Mixers- coke, diet coke, lemonade, tonic etc
Sauces - you might have the cranberry but what about horseradish and apple?

What is your reminder to help others avoid a Christmas Day disaster?

We are open normal hours today and tomorrow- shop 6.45 till 5.30pm. Post Office 9 till 5.30pm closed for lunch 1-2pm (post office only)

Final push!

Afternoon All

Post Office Only

A bit of a disaster, my pinpad in the post office has decided to go kaput!

I'm still operational but can't take card payment or take in/give out cash.

So it's cash payment only till Monday morning I'm afraid when I have been promised an engineer

Sorry for any inconvenience, trust me I am not a happy bunny

THE SHOP IS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS
