Just 3 doors down from our shop is the house where Jane Austen died. We were privileged the other day to be able to go on a team outing to see the recent developments to the house which is open to the public on Wednesday and Saturday.

Lighted windows.

Although we mostly have to keep the door shut at this time of the year the shop does look lovely from outside.
