Another quiet day at the shop although I saw more friends to chat today. A realisation that this week is not going to be busy so I decided and have publicised that I will be closed on Thursday as I do in a usual week. So I added to both of yesterdays drawings and did …
So as people here on holiday I thought I would open, a terrible forecast meant it wasn’t the best weather although drier for a bit this morning than I expected.
