there used to be three and now there's one. This butcher passed away and his family ran it for a year or two. They closed the shop at the end of last year.
It is sad that small family firms like butchers, greengrocers and ironmongers are closing down. I guess we are all guilty in some way by going to the supermarket.
That's sad that the shop closed. When my husband was in school, he worked part time at a butcher shop and gained a lot of knowledge. Have a nice weekend.
Gosto deste olhar.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

ReplyDeleteHey Bil,l erg jammer dat er steeds meer van deze toch wel leuke dorps winkels verdwijnen.
ReplyDeletegroet Kees, fijn weekend toegewenst.
That is too bad. I suppose that happens quite often with family businesses.
ReplyDeleteA nice photo and nod to a disappearing phase in life...the family business~
ReplyDeleteHello, I do not see butcher shops around here any more. They are all closed now.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, I hope your day and weekend is great!
The old time butcher shops are disappearing but we have trendy butcher shops opening here that are quite expensive for most people.

ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
Sad to see a family business close.
ReplyDeleteAnd too often people just go to the supermarket instead of the specialist.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad when the owner dies and the shop closes.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be interesting to see if someone else buys it as a butchers or turns it into something else.
ReplyDeleteJeepers! And this after just watching Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None."
ReplyDeleteSad to see businesses closing but a lovely capture.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a local butcher anymore. So sad.
ReplyDeleteOh that's too sad Bill, family businesses do it tough these days ✨
ReplyDeleteIt's always a little sad to see businesses closing.
ReplyDeleteA nice photograph though.
All the best Jan
Always unfortunate to see a family business close. I wonder if it just wasn't for them or the economy.
