They also used to do a nice tomato bread but I know I never went in as often as I should.
Great quote in one of my Christmas books
"It's not the supermarkets that are killing of the corner shops, it's the people that go into the supermarkets".
A couple of years ago I made a pledge to myself that I would try to frequent local shops more often. It's sometimes so easy to go the supermarkets but unless we all make an effort to keep local shops open they will all start to die out. And then we'll miss them when they're gone.
