I will be away next week and the w**e shop will be closed from Sunday 18th to Friday 23rd October. We will be open tomorrow, and back to normal times from next Saturday.
We won't, on this occasion, be heading to coastal Suffolk for fear of being savaged by the local constituency MP for excessive Black Dogness (the Ship at Dunwich and the 'Potty Bar' in Aldeburgh amongst others, we will meet again) but will be enjoying warm b**r beside the fire, heaven forbid quite possibly surrounded by old prints depicting hunting scenes, at the Ship Inn at Porthleven, the Tinner's Arms at Zennor, the Gurnard's Head at Treen, The Old Coastguard Inn at Mousehole, the Admiral Benbow in Penzance and the Blue Anchor in Helston; other suggestions welcome!
I look forward to returning to crowds of eager customers beating at the door next Saturday, keen to get their hands on our unique and delicious stock of wonderful single estate w**es, easily the finest selection in this part of sunny Essex, and well beyond!
And I will be here at the shop tomorrow...
