I see what you mean honoracorn, though having used the gallery I'm glad it's there. I don't think the flower shop was that much of a once-in-a-blue-moon thing either. I've got my eye on the pine shop but I don't suppose I'll use it every day. Still, there are currently 4 vacancies I think, so room for something like a butcher, fishmonger, greengrocer, what have you.

The other evening I think I walked past a butcher's up towards Crofton Park a bit - I'll have to have a look at that when it is open some time. And there's Mr Lawrence - probably that is taking most of the better-quality wine market locally.
