A Local convenience store in every respect, it's local and it's convenient. Unlike most small shops you come across this one is a real public service given the distance to the next nearest shop, the infrequency of public transport and the harsh driving conditions that occur, particularly in winter, make this something of a life-line service. Most essential items are stocked, although what's considered essential can be somewhat subjective, for example they don't always have nappies, and if you want a loaf of bread on a Wednesday afternoon you'll be snookered until Thursday when the delivery arrives. In many ways such inconveniences really miss the point though, it's another part of the local community, where people often congregate to buy 'something' when the rain starts and you can find yourself engaged in witty repartee with the charming counter staff. The shop also acts as something of a community notice board with all manner of local adverts and information pinned to the back of the door and if you require a joiner, chimney sweep, logs or other then there is a good chance you'll find a number there. I only mark it down because I get miffed when I need bread on a Wednesday afternoon, although a recent refurb means that they seem to have a greater capacity for stock so maybe this'll change ;) read more
