Over the years the 'village' area of where we live (rather a misnomer now!) has stopped being a place you could buy everything - there are a couple of general stores and a chemist; but now filled with takeaways, 2 betting offices, 2 taxi offices and 3 estate agents. A couple of other shops too - but not a one stop shop place anymore. It all looks tatty and run down - goodness only knows what the tourists from the campsite in the woods think! <br /><br />Caistor looks lovely to me - it seems a really nice place to live.

I love the stalls in the UK markets, but hard to compete when ages for your customers need to stretch farther.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355939382949051714.post-21945802507522098892016-05-04T19:37:51.901+01:002016-05-04T19:37:51.901+01:00I think that is countrywide, with more and more se...I think that is countrywide, with more and more services lost such a shame.
