Not the best of days yesterday! Steve fell & is in hospital with a broken pelvis. He's coming home today .
My opening times are going to be erratic. If I'm open I'm open if not I will have my nurses uniform on looking after him.

Thank you for understanding- Steve comes first.

How lovely. Another happy customer.

Another flashback.
This was an article in the Craven Herald when the shop celebrated 50 years in business.

I don't know why it was published in 2007 as the 50th was 2006!!

Sadly we lost Mum in December of that year (2007). Mum was the linchpin of the business in the early days. How she managed to run a shop & bring up 5 children plus be on lots of committees is beyond me - an amazing woman.
