🩷October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Around 1 in 7 women in the UK will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and men can get it too.

The advice is simple: know what's normal for you, check regularly, and see your GP if anything changes. Lumps, skin changes, ni**le changes, a new pain that doesn't go away. Most changes aren't cancer, but it's always worth checking.

Five minutes this week. Then tell a friend to do the same.

It's World Mental Health Day.💚

Nobody needs to have the right words. A chat at the counter, asking someone how they're really doing, noticing when a regular hasn't been in for a while: that's most of it.

If you're having a hard time, Samaritans are there any time, day or night, on 116 123. Free to call.

Come in for a loaf and a chat.

It's World Egg Day, and that's egg-citing 🥚

Our eggs come from The Brown Egg Farmer, so they've travelled a short way to get to you rather than across the country.

Scrambled, poached, in a cake, or boiled with soldiers for the kids. Pick up a box this weekend.

And a reminder: Sidwell Street Bakehouse sourdough lands today, so some loaves may be left for general sale. Toast and eggs, sorted.

Milk Tray has been around since 1915. Back then it didn't come in a box at all. Cadbury sent it to shops in big five-and-a-half-pound boxes, laid out on trays, and shopkeepers sold the chocolates loose. That's where the name comes from.

Over a hundred years later it's still one of the UK's favourite boxes of chocolates, with more than 8 million sold every year. And yes, the Milk Tray Man is still abseiling down buildings to deliver them.

You won't need to do anything that daring! Just pop into the shop.

We've got Milk Tray on offer at £5.99, down from £8.99. That's £3 off for a limited time only, so it's a good moment to grab a box for a birthday, a thank-you, or to tuck away for Christmas. Or just for you. We won't tell.

Once they're gone, they're gone.

🥘It's National Curry Week, and autumn's the right time for it.

You can get most of a proper homemade curry without leaving the village. Onions, garlic and veg from our stand, meat from Veyseys Butchers in Cullompton, rice, tins of tomatoes and coconut milk from the shelves.

Make a big pot, freeze half, and you've got a midweek dinner sorted for later in the month.

What's your go-to? Korma, madras, or something you've been perfecting for years?

It's World Animal Day today, so a wave to all the dogs 🐶 who wait patiently outside while their humans grab a pint of milk. You're the best-behaved customers we've got. 🐾

☕️International Coffee Day and National Poetry Day

Two things to celebrate today. It's International Coffee Day AND National Poetry Day, so we've written you a poem. Apologies in advance.

The kettle's on in Talaton, the milk is fresh, the beans are ground.
Why drive to town for a flat white when the best cup's just around?

Hot drinks are on all day, and there's coffee from in Minehead on the shelf for your cupboard at home.

Now it's your turn. Give us your best two-line poem about the shop in the comments.

Let's talk about milk 🥛

Since July 2025, while the cost of almost everything else has crept up, our milk prices haven't moved. In January we switched supplier to bring our own costs down, and that's let us absorb the increases ourselves rather than pass them on to you.

This month milk has gone up again. Here's how we've handled it:

1 pint: down 10p to 85p. That's the same price as Sainsbury's, Tesco, Lidl and Aldi.
1 litre: staying at £1.39. We've absorbed this month's increase.
2 litres: up slightly to £2.06.

So next time you're running low, there's no need to drive into town for a better deal. You'll pay the same here, save yourself the petrol, and every pint you buy helps keep your village shop open.

Fresh delivery's just in. See you in the shop!

It's World Heart Day ❤️

Small changes add up, more veg, a bit more walking, less sitting still. Nothing complicated, just the basics done consistently.

Our fruit and veg stand is stocked as usual, and if you fancy walking rather than driving in this week, we'll still be here when you arrive.

Look after your ❤️ and see you soon.
