[Customers_ellenden.harvington.net] Thank you

[ellenden at harvington.net]

Hi All 

I would like to start this weeks news letter by saying a huge
"THANK YOU" to all those who managed to attend the open day, have sent
emails or enquired in the shop as to how it went.

We were over the moon
with the numbers attending and the feedback we have received about the day.
I have so many people to thank for making the day a success, in particular
Cathy, Paula, Becky, Rob, Judith, Clive and the Harvington Hand Bells who
very much added to the festive spirit and gave up their time voluntarily.


CHRISTMAS MEAT ORDERS

Thank you for all the orders placed to date.
Charles (Toll Gate Turkeys) and
Adlington (Boned & Rolled Turkeys etc.)
have asked for Preliminary orders
to be received by December 10th - orders
can still be placed after this
date subject to availability - last year we
managed to fulfil orders right
up to the weekend before Christmas! 

If you
have any questions you would like to ask before placing an order, please
ask in the shop or send me an email - I am at the computer every night at
this time of year....

If anyone would like to order GAMMON OR HAMS ON THE
BONE I really need to have these orders by the end of next week due to the
"curing" process.

CHRISTMAS HAMPER GIFTS

We have a range of hampers made
up in the shop, if you would like to order one please let us know. Equally
if you would like to have one made up to a specified price range this is
also not a problem.

NEW LINES

We are now stocking
Mrs Gledhill's Christmas Puddings in both 125g and 500g size. You may be
interested to know that as well as the normal Christmas pudding, she makes
one that is "GLUTEN FREE" and one that is suitable for DIABETICS. If you
would like to order any of her puddings for Christmas please let me know.
Feedback on this product would also very much be appreciated.

The
packaging of these puddings are basic, but as one customer said to me "Why
do I want unnecessary packaging to put in my re-cycle bin"...... She has a
very valid point.

In addition we are stocking the following jams

* Black
Plum & Brandy

* Black Current Kirsch

* Pershore Plum in Schnapps

* Red
Plum in Port

* Sloe Gin Jelly

The following are suitable for
diabetics:

* Orange Marmalade

* Blackcurrent & Apple

* Strawberry and
Gooseberry.

SELSEY MULLING SYRUP

This appeared to go down very well on
the open day mixed with our own Bramley (black top) and Lord Lambourne (Red
Top Sweet) Apple Juice - we have both the 200mls and 500mls available in
the shop priced at £2.99 and £4.99 respectively

I think that covers
everything for this week - I cannot believe it is only 4 weeks to Christmas
Day......

Kind regards

Sara
