* Sundowner - definition

A Sundowner in  colloquial British English, is a drink taken after completing the day's work, usually at sundown (the term is most commonly used in Southern Africa). In France it's known as "l'apértiif" or 'l'apéro", in Italy "il aperitivo" and Spain it's often accompanied by tapas.... in short a great time of the day!

• One little Sundowner goes to market. Starting Wednesday April 10th Sundowner will be piloting a market stall in Winchester's ancient high street. Although we are starting with our existing product range we will be using the store to test new products including our imported Moroccan bowls in the Sundowner colours.

• Exbury Gardens on the Beaulieu river is the home of the Rothschild rhododendron collection and a flourish of other rare and beautiful flowering shrubs and plants.

The onsite cafe and shop offers Thomas the Tank Engine toys for the children and plants for those preferring garden pursuits.

However we can confirm that Queen Street Deli in Wells is definitely the greatest deli in Wells and Sundowner is thrilled to be on sale in this lovely establishment. 

• St John's Wood village is a little sanctuary of smart shops and eateries not far from famous Abbey Road Studios and Panzers Deli has been providing for the locals since before the Beatles were around. A great selection of speciality foods from the USA and Eastern Europe and now of course Sundowners!
