My customers.

We both feel awful with the same symptoms and my glamorous assistant tested positive for covid on Wednesday. I went into work that day and cancelled all work commitments.I am in no fit state to work at the minute. Slapped a closed due to covid note on the window, locked up and went home.

Three separate customers phoned my mobile today, one from the same village as me, one from the next village and one about ten miles away. All had seen the note all saying the same "do you need anything from the the shop ? milk, bread anything. I'll drop it off on your doorstep and pay me later."

How kind and thoughtful.

That's brilliant to hear - it's so uplifting when customers react so helpfully when they know you have difficulties. Hope you're not out of action for too long.

They are really good. Everyone who lived up the very steep hills around the top end of Lake Garda seemed to have one when I was there in 2007 although obvs. they were Mks 1&2. Very few large 4x4s.

Around hear you would be called a twirly because bus pass people are always trying to get away with using their pass too early.
