WITH THE NEW MONTH of April, Spring is now well on its way. It’s time to celebrate and its nature’s way of saying ”let’s party!”
What a joy it is to see all the gorgeous bulbs and tree blossoms come to life. It means lots of new fruits and vegetables coming into season.
We have had our first delivery of English asparagus which is grown in the Wye valley and, of course, Yorkshire rhubarb. How will you enjoy yours?
A big thank you to all of you who entered the Marmalade competition. We sold lots of Seville oranges and bags of sugar. The winner for 2025 was Angela Lear.
We also held a children’s colouring competition, well done to all who entered. The winner was Lily, aged 7 who won a Paddington lunchbox.
Easter is coming and we have a great selection of cards, gifts, and chocolates. Come in and grab a sweet treat.
And don’t forget we will have some delicious Hot Cross Buns for you to enjoy from Mark’s Bakery. These will be available from Monday 7th April. If you would like to guarantee a packet of buns then please send me an email and I can reserve, you some. Of course we will have a daily delivery of them.
The clocks will once more go forward for the start of British Summer Time on Sunday 30th March 2025. Additionally, the closing hours of the shop will be extended to 4pm, with the café closing an hour before.
The shop and café only succeed be- cause of many people in the village sup- port us. If you are not yet involved, please pop in and find out more. There is something for all. Everyone welcome.
