The shop closed its doorrs for the final time on Saturday evening (April 29th).

Jean told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “I have loved running the shop here and thank all of my customers for their support over the years.”

“It’s the end of an era. While I’m looking forward to my retirement, it has been a ‘bitter sweet’ decision because I will miss all my regular customers.”
