Brrrrrrr! It's a little fresh out there today, and although we love the snow we are definitely looking forward to the arrival of spring. Talking of arrivals - our latest aboutfram magazine arrived today so we will be out and about delivering - look out for your copy locally. More good news is that Vash at The Neathouse Cafe in Dennington will be open 5 days a week from Monday, so if you live nearby, where better to do your shop; coffee, cake, sausage rolls, milk, eggs, bread, fruit & veg - Vashti has it all.
Take care and stay safe
