However, it is very nice indeed to read comments such as Clare’s and may she long continue to cycle up that steep hill to do her daily shopping.

I always receive a friendly welcome from David and all the volunteer staff. Unless the weather prevents me I do most of my food shopping there- my family particularly like the bread and the Tropicana orange juice and I even buy the delicious Belvoir elderflower presse for friends and neighbours. On Tuesday I obtained everything on my shopping list and more stuffing my bicycle panniers with numerous bottles and packets - it is much easier on the back than carrying it from the supermarket to the car. The shop provides a marvellous service to the community but will only be able to continue if it is well supported.

Every town should have such a site to preserve the past and share the present. Your photo galleries are just wonderful! If I should ever find myself in England, I'd love to wander through your lovely town! Laurie Cervantes Yucca Valley, California USA Hello

It is wonderful to think that your website has resulted in you being reunited with a bit of your family history. How kind of Bill Smith to have contacted you about the painting. We would love to take up your offer of a viewing sometime! Regards, Alison and Phil Watts Colin,
