20 years ago today we arrived in Muker!
Where does time go?
We have met so many amazing people over the years and have had many ups and downs along the way. We're not sure how many cups of tea & coffee we have served, not sure how many sandwiches, rarebits and scones we've produced and we are not sure of how many times we have been asked how to pronounce the name Muker, but we're pretty sure it's an awful lot.
What with sheep, kestrels, pigeons, and many other assorted birds in the shop, Army Officers in the kitchen, salt in the bakewell tart, film stars, celebrities, politicians, tv appearances, the Tour de France, power cuts and not to mention why we sell so much Daz handwash in the shop (it's a secret), it has never been dull!
The wonderful community of Muker and Upper Swaledale made us feel so welcome and we have made many friends and have been blessed to have known some of the amazing characters that have lived in the Village.
A big thank you to all our customers over the years, many of those we can now count as friends.
A huge big thank you to both our families who have supported us over the years, we love you.
Finally we are so very lucky to have worked with some truly wonderful people you all know who you are and we could not have done any of it without you.
Thank you Nick & Alison
