Big round of applause for our Super Trooper volunteers Maureen, Wendy and Jully who kept the show on the road during the all day power cut in the village on Wednesday 👏👏👏. They donned their cold weather gear and manned the shop, aided by a generator generously lent by Mandy and Philip. Also thank you to Sheena for working out how to link the till up! A fantastic team effort! #communityshop #volunteers #blitzspirit #notforprofit #powercut #generator #villagelife #rural #suffolk #polstead #carryonworking #winter #christmasspirit #helpothers #villageshop #shopsmall #shoplocalsuffolk
