31st March 2007 was the closing day of Nan's shop at 31 West Main Street. Christine Lees has run the shop for the last 9 years and her popularity is shown by the many cards, flowers and gifts (some shown right), which she has received from well-wishers. Her friendly, helpful service will be missed by her former customers. We wish her a long and happy retirement. |
