Isn't it a little dark in here, said Old Fox, won't you come & join us in the meadow? I've had enough of summer, said Wolf, I want the North wind & syrup cake & bonfires in the orchard & blackberry jam & Michaelmas daisies & the geese all a-skeining in the mist.

Babcia enjoyed her trips to the village shop very much. She liked to find little treats for her family: Pine Marten's custard creams, Old Fox's film magazines & Wolf's Rowntree’s Chocolate Crisps. For herself, she bought French coffee & copies of the German newspapers they occasionally stocked.
