Just’s Blackbird Hotel
30th January 2008

It may only be the beginning of February but at Just we are playing host to a mum and her 4 chicks.

The Blackbird chose to build her nest in the small courtyard between our shop and the church next door and before long discovered she is really in a bit of a blackbird hotel!

Kerry is keeping mum happy and well fed on fairtrade sultanas and when the chicks hatched at the end of January mealy worm were added to the menu.

All are happy and healthy though I’m a little worried that the chicks are so well fed they’ll be too fat to learn to fly!

Why not plan an event to celebrate, Invite your friends round for coffee and feed them the fairtrade guilt free chocolate cake, yum.

No time to bake a cake? don’t worry pop into Just and buy a selection of our gorgeous biscuits cookies and cakes. If an evening is more your style why not invite your neigbours round for a glass of fairtrade wine and nibbles.

We sell a range to choose from, including my current favorite cashew nuts with a hint of lime and chili, or the ever popular spicy banana chips.

Call into the shop for help and advice, you could also order a box of sale or return fairtrade goodies to show and sell to your friends.
