It must be seen as significant when an independent shop, one that is both welcoming and friendly and yet at the same time rallies against the thought of conglomerates and big faceless organisations and the aloofness that follows therein, celebrates the milestone of a first birthday. It is not only a celebration, it is the commemoration of industrious spirit and the cornerstone of society, that to place your unique passion out into the open world and fight, almost with the strength, trust and hope personified by the Greek soldiers under the leadership of King Leonidas at Thermopylae, and keep your head in stormy weather, should be marked down in the local calendar as being faithful to the needs of real people with real needs.
