I just have a bit of rather cool local news to mention here today. I now live in a small estate of three rows of flats which were constructed about three years ago. As I mentioned a couple of months ago, at the end of one of the three rows of flats, on the opposite corner to my place, is a small space for a shop. The space has, however, been empty or not in use since I moved here: things were obviously taking their time to get into order, before the space started functioning as a shop. Yesterday, though, that changed, and the shop finally opened. I thus now have a very convenient little grocery just thirty seconds from where I live. I popped in yesterday afternoon, just to check it out: they were selling all kinds of things there, from fruit and fresh veg, to (rather handily if I ever run out late at night) a good range of real ale. It now looks like my beer supply has been sorted. Mind you, the space does seem to have one or two accessibility issues, although I now think they can be worked out when necessary.
