Never say you are too old! We really do meet some wonderful people and great characters in the shop, and today was no different. This afternoon a very sweet elderly lady (85 years old) had walked from her home 3/4 mile away, to our shop pushing a rather large shopping trolley. She was wearing a very smart two piece suit which she had made herself and told me she loved sewing and sewed every day, and had come to buy a new sewing machine. Brilliant I thought - how nice is that at her age!! After lots of deliberation she made her purchase and was insistant she would take it home herself in her shopping trolley even though we had already said we would deliver it for her. Much to our delight the box was too big for the shopping trolley, and we did take it home for her in the end. A very happy ending to our day, and she really did put a smile on our faces.
