Hello all Bah Humbug followers!

How are you finding the drop in temperature as we enter autumn? Bit of a shock after the sunshine of the summer.  Here in Masham the raincoats and umbrellas have made an appearance but for half term week it looks as though the sun will be shining, for at least some of the time anyway. Let's hope it last until Halloween so that all the Trick or Treaters out there can stay dry while they scare their victims!

We're making preparations for our Halloween offering so, for everyone who doesn't want to have a trick played, make sure you put a visit to the shop on your list of things to do and stock up on your treats.

We have lots of Halloween themed treats, chocolate eye balls, Halloween chocolate coins, special Halloween sours and much, much more! The shop is decorated and awaiting your visit but be prepared, we have some spooky guests!

Looking a little further forward with an eye on the bonfire season we have added to our usual toffee offering with wonderful bonfire toffees, together with a bigger choice of Mega Lollies, including Treacle or Toffee.  You might just be looking for something to warm you up, and we have a great range of herbal sweets that are just the job.

For any locals who listen to Radio York, you may have heard clues on their Finders Keepers slot which would lead you to our door.  It's always great fun to be included in local broadcast and events so we hope you were listening but if you missed it you can catch up here.

We look forward to seeing you soon and don't forget that if you live further afield you can always order online or drop us an email if you have any special requests for party bags, gifts or special orders.

Good Morning Blog fans!

The talk of the town today is bunting - who would have believed something so trivial could cause such ructions?

If you have been reading our recent blogs about the impending arrival of Le Tour de France in our North Yorkshire market town of Masham, then you will have read about the fabulous (tiny) knitted jerseys that have been strung up around the town as bunting.

Yesterday North Yorkshire County Council came and removed the bunting!  Why?  Because "We noticed that the lighting columns were leaning and in the interest of safety we asked for it to be taken down and not to be hung from lighting columns", a spokeperson from the Council has said.

Apparently, if the (tiny) knitted jerseys were to get wet the weight of them might pull the lamp post over.  If you check out the link to BBC news you will see just how tiny these jerseys are, and you will also see one of the offending in the picture.  Now if this is all it takes to make a lamp post lean enough to be a safety issue, then I would think that North Yorkshire County Council need to come and ensure that the posts are secured a little better.

We have also hit the local news on Stray FM!

Residents and businesses like ourselves now have the bunting strung up on our walls (let's hope these are slightly less likely to fall over than the lamp posts!!!)
