two Polly’s in one week

Polly’s today and a mini-Polly’s tomorrow. Carrot cake two days in a row. Yes. It is possible. We will be at the GreenerSax Winter Fayre tomorrow 13th November 10.30am-4pm. Entitled “Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty” the fayre promises to be inspiring as well as festive and fun. Have a go at a new craft. Get your bike fixed for FREE. Get some seeds, plants, honey and a new reusable bag. There will be a great raffle and lots of information on how to get your home a little bit more energy efficient. And plenty more to create a happy ever after.

that’s it for October

see you all in November. Remember, remember the fifth of November. Carrot cake, coffee and plot(?). Well, you know what I mean. Take it easy.

it will be all go this Friday - our last for October

Lots to get our head around this week. Suzie is popping in to provide children’s haircuts. This will be the last Polly’s for October as the Market Hall is being used for the Saxmundham Arts Festival on 22nd and 29th of October. But we will be back for November. There is the loyalty card to get stamped and second-hand goodies to rummage through. And so many activities in the area for half-term, maybe you won’t even miss us…(we’ll miss you)

no Sara, but we coped

not sure how, maybe the ample helpings of carrot cake got us through. Lovely to see you all yesterday. Closing at 1pm didn’t impact on any of us too much, we thought. Polly’s will try it for three weeks and then have another think about our opening times. See you all soon. Take it easy.


Sep 24

our 13th day

unlucky for some…mainly those who missed out on the carrot cake. It sold like hot..cake today. But it is not all bad news because the loyalty card is launched and feedback is that Stannards have already given Pollycard holders some discount today. Next week (1 Oct) we are going to close at 1pm. So pop in early for something scrummy.

and it was buzzing

we had a fun time last Friday and more fun will be had this Friday too. A new ball pool will be popping-up. A new flavour of quiche will be on the savoury menu and there will be something new to sample in the cake department too. Maybe we will have some new faces around the place too. Very exciting. Spread the new-s.

lovely day for the race

What race? The human race, I was told by the Waitrose delivery man. So pleased to offer some respite from the weather for the campers of Carlton today. What a drizzly few days! Real back-to
