THE GINGERBREAD MAN… Part Four. The cunning fox said in a soothing voice “Don’t worry, I am a very strong swimmer. Just jump on my back and I will carry you across”. Thus, the Gingerbread Man climbed onto the cunning fox’s back and the fox began to cross the river. When they reached the middle of the river the cunning fox said “My dear Gingerbread Man, please climb not my nose as the water is deep here and you might drown”. So, the Gingerbread Man climbed onto the fox’s nose. Immediately the fox tossed him up in the air, opened his mouth and gobbled up the Gingerbread Man. That was the end of the Gingerbread Man. Meanwhile, the little boy, the old man, the woman, the spotted dog, the hungry crow, the three mowers, the two piglets and the pony had reached the riverbank and saw the cunning fox swallow the Gingerbread Man. The little boy sighed “Oh! now I can never eat the Gingerbread Man” He was very sad and disappointed. The old woman said “Don’t worry. Lets go home and make another Gingerbread Man. This time we will not let him get away”. So, The little boy, the old man and the old woman went back to their house and the spotted dog ran back to his kennel. The hungry crow flew uni to the sky and began to look for food. The three mowers went back to work. The two piglets went back to the farm to wit to be fed by the farmer. Everybody looked forward to the old woman baking another Gingerbread Man. HAPPY CHRISTMAS form all of us at Grace and Albert. xx

It was Christmas Eve in the workshop. All the elves are working fast... Just a quick reminder that we will be open today from 10 am till 5 pm.

THE GINGERBREAD MAN… Part Three. When the piglets saw the Gingerbread Bread man they jumped out and joined in the chase. Thus, the little boy, the old man, the woman, the spotted dog, the hungry crow, the three mowers and the two piglets were chasing the Gingerbread Man. However, the Gingerbread Man, still racing, shouted back at them “Run! run! as fast as you can! But you cannot catch me as I am the Gingerbread Man!”. As the Gingerbread Man ran ahead a pony grazing on a meadow saw him. The pony thought the Gingerbread Man would be very tasty. “I will devour you in a couple of bites” said the pony and began to trot after the Gingerbread Man. Thus, the little boy, the old man, the woman, the spotted dog, the hungry crow, the three mowers, the two piglets and the pony were all chasing the Gingerbread Man. However, the Gingerbread Man, still racing, shouted back at them “Run! run! as fast as you can! But you cannot catch me as I am the Gingerbread Man!”. The Gingerbread Man raced faster than ever and soon he reached a riverbank. The river seemed quite deep. He gazed down at the water and sighed “Oh dear! what shall do? I don’t know how to swim”… You’ll have to wait until next week to find out the final part of The Gingerbread Man.

Treating yourself or just keeping yourself warm. You could use either of those two as excuse for a mulled wine or a hazelnut hot chocolate drink this time of year. The sorrel and ginger cordial is especially good for the mulled wine. Don’t forget to pop by for our special Friday evening late opening (10 pm) tomorrow.
