October

October is an exciting month in the shops, as the Christmas stock begins to arrive, lots of new clothing, toys, gifts and foods. We have also seen the arrival of our freezer of frozen fish from Fish Fanatics a company based in Manchester. We now stock over 15 varieties of freshly frozen fish, from Haddock to king prawns.

Out on the farm we should be busy digging potatoes this month, but as the weather has been so wet it is almost impossible to get the machinery into the field, never mind having to pull full trailer loads of potatoes away. We have also began to harvest our carrots, the field in which they are growing is on sandier soil so it is easier for the tractors to travel on than the moss on which the potatoes are planted. As always Eric, Andrew and Steven are busy cutting our cabbage, cauliflowers and broccoli ,to the amusement of people passing by, who like to blow their horns at us out in all weathers!
