Here are some photographs from the grand opening of the new village shop, inside the Sycamore. Our local TV celebrity Tom Chambers was on hand to congratulate Janet, as were a whole crowd of well-wishers.
Inside the shop, you’ll find all the essentials, including fresh fruit and vegetables, free range Parwich eggs, tea, coffee, cereals, fresh bread, dairy products, canned and frozen food, household goods, sweets and crisps, and (as you would expect from a pub!) beer, wine and spirits. And if you’re quick off the mark, there are even some Easter eggs for sale.
As an added bonus, lunchtime and evening shoppers can stop and enjoy a pint or a glass of wine with their purchases – and what could be more civilised than that!

I have done my shopping for the weekend today. I ordered some lunch and a drink, did my shopping, then just needed to sit down (sipping my drink) for a moment before the hot food arrived. A very civilized way to get the shopping, and some pleasant company as well. It has put me in a very relaxed frame of mind, before I have to start preparing for my weekend visitors.
Good luck to Janet, Steve, and the new shop. Just nipping over for a bottle of ketchup – or is that a pint of beer? Hmm……
That Chambers boy needs a haircut!
