We have internet at the Skello Shop, and we're open 3 - 6 pm.
Unfortunately, the Post Office is not working here because we have no signal in our area, so no backup.

We have 6 bunches of flowers from Flooers in town. Reserve now to avoid disappointment. £19.99 each colourful bunch.
Happy Mothers' Day to all the sisters out there who know the struggle💝

So you've heard that I have another job? Correct. And you think this means that the shop is shutting down? 𝑾𝑹𝑶𝑵𝑮!
Still fully stocked (these photos are from today!), still open 3-6pm 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙙𝙖𝙮, still committed to keeping the shop open. Westrayers will vote - w͟i͟t͟h͟ t͟h͟e͟i͟r͟ f͟e͟e͟t͟ - whether they need this shop or not.
Ok, January has been brutal - try paying high Xmas bills with January footfall that brings in less than £50 on some days. But I have saved up over the summer, and the reserves have held. 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕. February will decide, just like every February has done over the past 10 years. I have plenty of experience with brutal finances, and I love this shop too much to let them scare me.
So all you need to do, to vote in favour of this shop, is to break your Tesco addiction and put in a small regular order with the Skello Shop. Thank you to those who are already voting every week... I will continue to roll out the red carpet for you ❤️

And Scottish recipes? Any suggestions?
(They don't have German or Austrian recipes on here... from experience I would say: "Can't get the ingredients, might as well give up and just dream of it. Have a beer."

Yum!

January can feel a bit like "where did everybody go?" for small businesses. And that's with high bills for December stock to pay.
So, don't forget us. We're still here every day from 3 - 6 p.m., fully stocked despite transport challenges, battling the wind and weather, Post Office open, coffee machine on, making a living.
Show us the love, if you can, and help us get through to the summer - it must be just around the corner!🏜️
