We should appreciate what we have

I want to say a huge thank you to someone who provides a constant, reliable presence (exactly what's needed right now) in the village and that of course is Williams newsagents.

It's only during the last eighteen months I have been shopping in Audlem and it's great that we have a newsagent with such a clear commitment to provide us all with a seven day a week service through thick and thin AND (especially important at the minute) with a smile and a cheery word.

I was determined this year to do as much of my Christmas shopping as possible in the village and Judy had gone to great lengths to stock some wonderful gifts. And let's be honest as well as the usual newspapers, magazines and cards where else can you buy a fuse or some BluTack at 6a.m.?

Having been brought up in a village newsagent myself regularly having to 'mark up' papers at 5 a.m. I know it's sheer hard work – and, as for most self-employed people it's not quite as easy to say you have "holidays by right" (even if you should!). You either close – not a realistic option with a newsagent or you must pay someone to cover, increasing the cost of your holiday.

Few villages are fortunate enough to have a good old-fashioned newsagent that is so key to the village let alone one with 'history' like this one! So, let's all show our appreciation by having a smile at the ready as we go in, support the store as much as we can and not wait for controversy to remind us of what we have to be grateful for.
