Hot, Hot, Hot. As I write this it is hot, humid and sticky outside. So how can we keep cool? Pop into the Village Shop and purchase one of their ice lollies, such a choice of flavours, or take a look in the upright freezer for a yummy New forest Ice Cream. You will find a good selection of Vanilla, Strawberry, Ginger, Toffee Crunch (definitely my favourite!) or Mint Choc Chip. The choice is yours.
Drinks. A good selection of cold drinks also awaits you, from Cola and sprite to a Gin & Tonic. During the summer months you will also find a nice white wine, chilled ready for you to drink.
Chilled Foods. Look in the first Chiller for Smoked Trout, delivered every Friday, and Smoked Trout Pate. Have you tried the Cheese Souffle (my neighbour tells me they are delicious)? Quiches, from Dandelion, arrive on Tuesdays.
Making Life Easy. Moving along to the freezers you will find a good selection of Ready Meals all reasonably priced, including Roast Beef, Roast Chicken and Toad in the Hole, a choice of Pizzas and also Ethel’s Pies ( which you can cook from frozen).
By Ruby. We have an amazing variety of their meals available. Some are suitable for vegetarians, vegans and for those needing Gluten Free.
Fresh Fruit and Vegetables. Fresh fruit and veg are delivered daily and don’t forget that freshly picked Watercress is delivered every Friday.
Your village Shop
Abbotts Ann Village Shop clearly has lots to offer. It is your Shop so please give it your full support.
Laying down My Pen
After many years this is my last entry for the Shop in the Magazine. Time to hand over to fresh ideas!
