After 22 years of running The Buck Dorothy and Peter have sold the house and café. They would like to thank all their customers who supported them over the decades. It is a testament to Dorothy’s skill as a baker, soup maker and cake decorator that the business flourished with customers returning year after year. Her coffee was excellent and speciality teas delicious.
We wish them a happy retirement in their new home on the west coast.
The new owner will be opening The Buck at some point in the future and we’ll be sure to let you know when that is.
Scott Watson gave a polished performance on BBC’s Countryfile this Sunday. Scott, raised at Baing, a few miles up the glen where his father Geordie was shepherd, moved down south early in his career as a farm manager. The programme focussed on the radish crop and Scott was a natural on TV. Perhaps a new career beckons?
