We have been sharing #WednesdayWisdom posts about the Postal Workers’ Strikes for some time now along with warnings about the last posting dates for Christmas being much earlier than usual due to this.
This is hitting small businesses at their crucial time of year and, with them unable to guarantee delivery before Christmas, their potential customers are turning to the likes of Amazon instead.
On top of this, sadly, it seems that a number of small businesses are being criticised for something that is well beyond their control (see picture). So we thank you, all our lovely customers, for your patience and understanding and for taking our warnings to heart and ordering early for Christmas.

Shop Early
November has well and truly arrived with the leaves on the cherry tree in front of The Old Dairy turning golden and falling on to the grass.
Quite literally overnight the shops have gone from Halloween to Christmas (mind you Christmas goods seem to have been in the shops since Back to School finished 😱).
So, with Postal Strikes scheduled for this month, we suggest you start your Christmas shopping sooner rather than later.
You can shop our giftware via this link.
Out of Hours Opening
With just one week to go before The Old Dairy closes for our Christmas and New Year break we thought we’d remind you that we are happy to open evenings and this weekend but you will need to book an appointment.
There are also a few appointments available between Christmas and New year but these are strictly limited. Please call by Christmas Eve if you would like to book a slot. Thank you.
