This morning, I popped into Londis (as you do) and JD (the owner) said
that as of today he's retiring. He and his wife Lata (who he says is the
backbone of the business) have made it 'our corner shop' for over 30 years
and both are well known and loved within our community. Sadly, the end of
an era. However, the new owners are also a couple and no doubt you'll see
them when you next go to Londis.
JD said he and his family have had a wonderful time - having started the
business from scratch, the ups and the downs, all types of customers, being
part of the wider community, lots of laughs, appreciation and a job well
done. They plan to continue living life as fully as possible during
retirement - just another adventure!
In fact, if you want to find out what he's up to or just want to send a
message, he's on facebook at:
*JD-Londis Coppermill Lane*
Also, I've bought him a card (big enough for all your autographs). If you
want to sign it, please pop along to the Street Party meeting next Tuesday
from 7.30pm in the Coppermill Pub.
Have a fab weekend & enjoy the weather! Happy Mother's Day!
Charmaine
