Sometimes I worry that I am too nostalgic and should move with the times but when I started this blog I did want it to be a record of change. I can't but help comment on a funny old shop that has closed its doors in Yamba after many years.
We never really had a name for this place but it was one of those stores that sold lots of things you really need at the beach when you are on holidays; postcards (some saucy), mullet gut, tea towels, snorkels, footballs, t-shirts, frozen prawns, snow scenes, thongs, white zinc, crab pots, stickers, surfboards, green weed (for fishing not smoking), glass figurines etc etc etc.
I suppose it will become another hairdresser or cafe but I know next time I am on holidays and I need something practical to ensure a successful day at the beach I won't be able to pop into the shop that had no name but sold many things.

Its a shame. Those little shops used to be in every seaside town.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity this establishment has closed it's doors - I'm sure it will be missed by locals and tourists alike!
