      I agree. I grew up with my parents small businesses and had my own. Sometimes I wish I could have another, but it’s changed too much (here in US anyway). I was very surprised at how reasonable ALL of those items were! I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but I sure did! A nice pair of socks at the hiking store here are $30+ alone.

      ​@@cumberlandquiltchic1I noticed how inexpensive it was especially for an out of the way market. I like to shop my local markets too. It's a reminder of my childhood when I had pennies in my pocket to buy candy. Back then you could get 3 Tootsie Rolls for a penny & a quarter bought me a whole bag of sweets for the 4 of us kids to share. For a dollar you could buy a big bottle of soda & a bag of frosted animal cookies, then head to the creek to catch pollywogs. I think we had more fun and more adventures than kids playing video games.

    I don't know when Grocery Stores' started having feelings, but this is a wonderful find of a video nonetheless. I hope May's business is able to reap the rewards.
    May and the owners of small shops like this are a dying breed. Until a few years ago Morpeth, in Northumberland, had a store over 3 floors run by an older lady. She could tell you on which floor, aisle, shelf, anything you wanted to buy could be found. Everything from furniture to hardware to cleaning products to tools large and small could be found there as well as small household items. Miss Smail was a remarkable woman.
    Long live May and her Hebden emporium!

Now, I have found the gingerbread recipe of my dreams just in time for the holidays. Thanks, Harrison! 😊

    Aww. You were so nice! A lovely heart warming video. Thank you. I think I’ve been there in 1997. On the Pennine Way when I was walking it. It’s all a bit hazy. I first had a sticky Parkin from a van on the Pennine Way. I asked the guy behind the counter what it was. He’d obviously encountered a lot of foolish questions in his usual day. It said; it’s sticky and it’s a Parkin. I said that sounds ideal! One of them and a cup of tea. He said good answer. So I went up in his estimation from total idiot to just idiot.

His father started it and he took over when he passed but none of his kids wanted to work there so when he passed it got shut down unfortunately which is very sad.

    I had to look up Yorkshire Parkin. I found:
    The year was 1728. Banging his gavel, the magistrate of the West Riding Quarter Session called the courthouse to order. The accused was brought forward. Standing erect in a pose of dignified capitulation, Mrs. Anne Whittaker, occupation housewife, listened as her offense was read aloud.
    The crime: She had stolen oatmeal.
    Her defense: Why, to make Yorkshire parkin, of course.
    The verdict: Guilty as charged but dang, was the parkin worth it!
    True story. And that was one of the first ever published references to Yorkshire parkin, the crime of theft, of culinary passion, all in the name of this centuries-old cake.
    🤷‍♀️😊 found it at daring gourmet lol
    Love this little store and the owner! Good for her! 😀
