Aw well everyone, end of an era. That's me just handed the keys of my wee business over to the new owners Jean & Heather.
Wee bit emotional but all is well.

This will be the last post on this page.

Goodbye and thank you all for the memories. X

Just when I thought I was holding it all together look what turns up. Ladies from the Community Group with a banner saying 'The Legend has retired'. I received from them also a beautiful display, in a box, of flowers and lots of other things.
I must be doing something right. Thanks to all of them. ❤ u all. Xx

Can't believe that after working consistently for over 50 years straight I'm about to head into my last week of work before retirement.
Although my head, back and body tell me its time to slow down I know I'm going to miss the craic with customers that come into the shop be they family, friends, locals or visitors. Who am I going to tell all my dirty jokes to now? Lol.

Landlord has asked me to look for a builder to check and possibly repair 'flashing' under sign at shop ASAP please as rain seems to be dripping in when it's heavy. Contact me at shop. Thanks.
