A Happy New Year

At last....I return to my blog!! After a busy busy time in the shop in the run up to Christmas, I had to do it....start the dreaded Closing Down Sale. My customers are being lovely, loads of good wishes and genuine interest in what is to be our exciting, hard-working future.

Many of them have started to read the blog and pass comment on it in the shop, I hope they will continue to read as I vanish from their day to day lives on the high street and into the ether.

I have wilfully neglected my blog, and feel SO guilty when I read all the other lovely blogs that I follow, they have all somehow managed to keep things going and have a family Christmas. I have been up and down the country travelling to visit relatives (a lovely time was had in Scotland for the New Year) and to clean up our lovely new farmhouse ready for its coat of fresh paint.

The immediate future now is to be taken up with closing my beloved little shops door. I have today (Saturday) and then just one more week before the closed sign goes up for the final time on 'Lavender's Blue... ' the smallest shop in Ulverston.

There is no photo on this post, I could not think of one in my collection that sums up how things are at the moment, I will take some of the shop as it winds down and post them for posterity.
