“There’s Something<br />
You Don’t See<br />
Every-day!”<br />
This Halloween, Parkway Shopping Newbury will be serving<br />
up something you certainly don’t see every-day! The centre<br />
will be living up to the famous saying by Ghostbuster (Peter<br />
Venkman) when he saw the giant marshmallow man appear<br />
for the first time in the classic 80s film The Ghostbusters.<br />

Coffee, Cards & Gifts<br />
Scarecrow Trailers need not<br />
worry about getting weary<br />
this year, as one of the popular<br />
stops on the route is likely to<br />
be The Baobab, the delightful<br />
coffee shop and gift shop on<br />
West End Road in Mortimer<br />
which is celebrating its first<br />
birthday this month.<br />
Having finally thrown off its shackles as ‘The Old Post Office’<br />
this gem of a shop has truly come into its own over the last year.<br />
The personal welcome and service is second-to-none and often<br />
commented upon. There is wide range of quality stock - gifts,<br />
cards and stationery - for all ages and occasions, too.<br />
The unusual gifts here give the impression to the recipient that<br />
you have spent hours searching high and low for ‘just the right’<br />
gift, which is how everybody wants to feel! The introduction of<br />
the coffee shop has been embraced by villagers and visitors<br />
alike, welcoming the opportunity to sit and chat in a cosy<br />
environment with drinks and, of course,<br />
cake!<br />
For those in a hurry (or mid-Scarecrow<br />
Trail) The Baobab also offers a take-away<br />
option, so why not take a tea, coffee or hot<br />
chocolate on the trail with you? And when<br />
you pop in during half term week, you might<br />
just find a lollipop for the kids, too...<br />
