Umpleby's Bakery & Café

Just a reminder, one week from day is opening day of the 35th season of the Norwich Farmers Market.   Wait till you see all the newly constructed booths that a lot of the vendors (as well as Steve, the manager!) have been working on!

We’ll be selling at the market for the first time lamb pasties!  Plus all of our usual hits such as blueberry danish, meat pies, sourdough breads, breakfast pastries and savory muffins.

Plus it will be a full moon that night so that means anything can happen at the market that day.  Anything.

the passing of two very interesting people.  One was the former drummer of the Band, Levon Helm.   I remember seeing the movie The Last Waltz for the first time when it was featured by the  cinema club at Skidmore.  Wow!  For a lover of old time rock and roll that was the movie to see! From Clapton to Muddy Waters.   The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down is probably one of my favorite songs of all time, or at least in the top 50.  Who am I kidding, its gotta be at least the top 25.

The second was Greg Ham.  You would know him as the flute player in Men at Work. He played the famous little riff on the song Down Under, which might as well be the national anthem of Australia.  I remember seeing the video on MTV when MTV was relevant. When they actually played music videos announced by VJ’s – Video Jockeys.  Does anyone remember Martha Quinn?  I’m getting off track.    The sad reason for his untimely death I urge you to read here in The Age.

Godspeed and RIP to both fellows.

Just a few weeks away is the NFM!!!  

All the info is here:  The NFM      Opening day is May 5th this year – rain or shine.

This will be our 11th season!
