Changes

I don't know - I go away for a week, and when I come back Things Have Changed!
The little shop that used to be Adela's Dress Agency before they moved over to the shop on the corner that used to be the Sensible Bookshop will shortly become Grandma Hettie's Sweet Shop. They've got a couple of sweet jars in the window with Sooty and Sweep at the moment (though thinking of the havoc that Sooty and Sweep tend to cause, are they really a good advert for a sweetshop? You'd be covered in sugar and sticky stuff before you could say "Izzy Wizzy, lets get busy"!).
Down on the Pavement, the photographic chap is now working from home, and has been replaced by Hay Baby, with clothes and other stuff for babies and toddlers.
And the Wheatsheaf is to let - again. The pub is owned by Enterprise Inns, and the big pub chains tend to have a high turnover of publicans, because they make it very hard for them to make ends meet.
Finally, the sign on the door of Tom's Record Shop says 'Closed', but rumour has it that he might not be re-opening.
