Phew, what a scorcher!

We enjoyed a scorching afternoon at the Leigh Flower Show. It was a fabulous event, much bigger than the Brockham Village Fair and blessed with better weather. We did a good job selling fruit punch, organic apple juice, books new and old, local honey and oil. The hamper raffle was very popular, we're getting good at these! The prime motive for the event was to show our faces in Leigh as we will be the nearest shop for many of the residents there. We took around £190 as well, so more for the fund raising total.
We are going to whitewash the shop now and close on Thursdays. We all have holidays coming up and there is little left to sell anyway. Unfortunately the planning application for the extra space and the new shop front has been put back to the September planning meeting and so there is little more we can do until we hear the result of that. We will have to delay the building work as we cannot guarantee a successful outcome, but we will be lobbying hard.
So please bear with us if it looks like nothing is happening, as ever most of the work is going on behind the scenes.
