Firstly congratulations to all those at the Orford General Store for winning the Countryside Alliance UK and Ireland Village Shop and Post Office Champion 2012. We missed visiting when I wrote the piece below and have since caught up with this wonderful village shop, Post Office, cafe, butcher and delicatessen. It is a great example of how to compete with the big supermarkets and keep a village hub going. The Eadt Suffolk Magazine has featured Orford recently see link here
A feast under the hedge
I have been surprise to find that the puffballs, normally only available in September are already out and doing really well in July. The combination of warm damp ( well wet) weather has done its stuff and the fungi are popping up all over.
