Ye Olde Shoppe

 

This is how shops used to be. Places which sold only one type of goods. Places where there was a counter, a shopkeeper and a friendly greeting.

 

Of course shopping took a long time. You had to visit several shops to get a few days food. And you had to have a chat in everyone of them. Catch up on the village gossip etc.

 

Not too many left now, the Superhypermarkets have taken over. It’s quicker, see. And more convenient. None of us have the time anymore.

 

That’s progress.
