The village owes Jeyan and Sugi a big thank you for running Chearsley shop and putting in such long hours at the same time as having the shop and Post Office in Cuddington and looking after their 2 daughters.   A lot of hard work for sometimes little reward and the ever continuing threat of loss of Post Office business.  Hopefully, we shall remember to keep supporting them  as much as we can to keep both shop and Post Office open in the future.
