The staff at On the 8th Day are always friendly and knowledgeable as well as ethical and advocates of sustainability. Some of them are artistic as well. I saw one of the cooperative women, Sam, painting this wonderful mural for Pukka teas on the window 10 days ago.
The On the 8th Day cafe downstairs is perfect for breakfast, lunch and tea. Upstairs in the shop there are creative gifts and a wide range of foods and toiletries. Events are also held here, such as music afternoons and wine tastings.
A weekend isn't complete in our household without a lunch consisting of some of the take out food you can buy here. Wraps made by Forest Food in Chorlton or vegan pasties and flapjacks from an artisan bakery in Todmodern. Burrito Grande, Mediterranean calzone, and spinach, potato and pea wrap are probably our family's top three at the moment.
Thanks to Brenda for some details for today's post. You can follow her on Twitter at
This is quite the creature painted on the window. It has nice bright colours. One thing I like about your blog is that I can shift-right-click on the photos for a large view. I like to study the detail in the photographs. Keep on clicking.
