I do love a good local shop front, so was in awe when I saw Baddeleys. It’s very old fashioned looking and has a gorgeous navy blue,(or is that royal blue? I always get my blues mixed up) coat of paint all over it. Shoe repairs aren’t something I’m ever in need of, but key cutting is because i’m always losing them. I nipped down the road and was greeted by a friendly man on his own in the shop, he cut a spare for my door key in a matter of minutes and sent me on my way a few quid lighter. I could have gone to a Timpson’s in Morrissons but when there are wonderful local businesses to support it makes no sense to go to a slightly soulless chain. They also offer and engraving service.
