Final Day of Chearsley Stores
It is just over 3 years ago that Janine opened up the shop with tea rooms. Wonderful for the village to have the shop back again after it had been shut for 18 months. Sadly, the business has not worked out for Janine and she finally locked up for the last time on Thursday 7th July. Thank you Jay for what you did for the village - being there for more than the essentials of milk, bread etc and the last minute bottle of wine, allowing friendships and gossip to flourish over a cup of tea and cake but also fund raising over £1,000 by holding a curry night for Help Our Heroes, hosting an Italian evening, providing Halloween fun for the children, supplying the teas at the village Fayre, establishing and writing the community newsletter, holding the traditional afternoon teas with your tasty home made cakes and fine china, the Christmas meals you cooked so expertly. We wish you well for the future. It is welcome news that it seems likely that the shop will re-open in August under new management.
