On behalf of many residents of Trefeglwys I am sure, can I applaud the efforts of Steve and Sue Mantle in opening their village shop?

The prices are competitive and the varied choice of fresh goods are attractively arranged and can be easily reached from the shelves. The shop opening hours are very user-friendly and on-site parking is available. 

I really look forward to the short walk each day to collect my newspaper and shopping, all of which saves expense, time and stress in driving elsewhere.

There’s always a warm welcome and I often meet someone whom I have not seen for a while. If I have time I can chat over a cup of tea/coffee and cake at one of the comfortable tables. If the weather is good I can sit outside.

In short the shop is fast becoming a real community hub like the church and pub, somewhere folk can meet up in a very relaxed atmosphere. It’s all that a village shop should or could ever be; long may it continue!
