The morning after a Saturday night jam session! Ready for house guests… and my toast! I make blackcurrant jam with 60% sugar to keep the sugar content low and the taste tart. Only a few jars in cupboard so the 13 I made last night boosted reserves nicely. (I’m looking forward to chutney season!)

Using our labels (£3 pack of sheets). I apologise now for the rather haphazard way the labels are slapped on…

Got to love a huge blanket delivery during a heatwave! Our restock has finally arrived… do pop in if you wanted one as a gift or you wanted a broad choice. These are ‘random recycled’ so we don’t know what’s coming… we’re delighted with all the colours! We’re also trying a few of the new stripe designs.

The 150x183cm large blankets are £39; the 140x180cm stripes are £49 each.

The throws are back in stock, too (£24 each) - we use one of these throws at home as a table covering. You’re welcome to pop in and browse!

APRIL & MAY >> For this month and next, we’ve hooked back to being closed on Mondays to accommodate an operation and recovery (nothing awful, don’t worry). So we’re open Tuesday to Saturday. Thank you, and we’ll revert back to be open on Mondays for the summer.

Bit of a hoohar this year, but we’re only open Easter Saturday! Sorry. Very unlike us. Fortunately, our neighbouring shops and eateries (not to mention the Cathedral & Castle) are firing on all cylinders so there are a million and one reasons to enjoy lovely uphill Lincoln this Easter!
