Christmas. Yes I said it. I know it’s only November but it starts now really doesn’t it? How do I know it’s nearly Christmas? Well we have Cadbury’s Cream Eggs arriving shortly (not really, you have to wait till next year for those) I know because we talked about turkeys and geese at the committee meeting and David winced when we mentioned decorations.
If you are one of those efficient folk who have their cards done, signed and in their envelopes by bonfire night (hey we have ingredients for Yorkshire Parkin by the way) and your gifts drawer is stacked to the hilt then you might want to think about what size turkey you’d like to order from us. If you’ve had one before you’ll know they are good, if you haven’t… well you know, they are good!
Is it time for the screen to come down at the counter? Do you feel safer with it up? Does it remind you of the traumas of the lockdown and rather see us return to normal? The committee would like to know customer opinion.
I know we harp on about it but we have great volunteers who keep the shop running and we have had a small influx of new blood for which we are forever grateful and one of them has offered to do an extra duty and taken on a regular much needed job – we love it when that happens without asking. We gobble
them up.
