The Lemon Tree

The Lemon Tree
My walk on Monday was in Wincanton. First a brisk walk around the park, then a wander around the cemetery adjoining it, and back uphill through the town. I couldn't resist the warm cheese scones in the window of this shop, and only 30p each....a bargain! The deli came before the green grocers message, "Eat More Carrots"!

Three lovely images, Rosa. The Lemon Tree Delicatessen looks quite charming and reassuringly old fashioned. It's the kind of place, where I would love to shop. All the best, Joe

Thank you for your kind comments Joe. They have a couple of tables in there to sit and eat (normally) or for tea and coffee. Cheers, Rosa.

The cheese scones were probably the best I have ever bought Nick. Wincanton has a lovely selection of individual shops, and you should see the queues at the butchers every Saturday!
Take care. Best wishes, Rosa.

Six shillings for a scone Rosalyn, Really !! I can remember going into the bakers at 4 o clock in the afternoon and asking for threepence worth of stale cakes and getting a bag full. It was a shop not unlike the one in your photograph but in Kent.

I love towns with lots of independent and what I would call "traditional" shops - so much more attractive and interesting than the big chains etc., and very photogenic too.

The delicatessen looks very inviting and warm and the window display is very nice. I would definitely have popped in there for a look-see (and possibly a cake or three).

I love the "eat more carrots" sign.........it's so delightfully old-fashioned looking, as is that charming fruit and veg shop. I like the green elephants :-)

A smashing series Rosa.............thanks for sharing!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
So do I Keith, and Wincanton has lost some over the years but in recent years we have also had some new independent stores. Sadly one shop that we lost a couple of years ago was a shoe shop that served us well for years.

The deli is really good and you would have found one or three delicious cakes there. I was almost tempted by a Viennese whirl, but stayed with the cheese scone ;-))

Thank you for all your kind comments Keith. Have a good evening.

What lovely traditional shops. Looks as if Peter Rabbit is making inroads in the carrots and you've been doing the same with the cheese scones. I'm jealous.
