I love living and shopping here, and just wish more of my neighbours would follow suit. That said, I needed a kettle at short notice on Tuesday morning. The one shop I knew sold them at an uninflated price was shut, forcing me to travel to the nearby Sainsburys. But we do have joy in the form of Park View - the butchers, the traditional sweet shop (a recent but kost welcome arrival), the cafes, soft furnishing, and on and on. If only people would get out of their cars and onto their feet and wandered about a bit with their eyes open, they may have a greater chance of survival.... Sigh. Poor Whitley.

If only people would get out of their cars and onto their feet and wandered about a bit with their eyes open, they may have a greater chance of survival….

Sigh.
