It's "Children in Need" day, ... a fact I was reminded of when I popped into our local garage on Spa Road in Melksham


Bruce and his team are always very welcoming when Sharon, Chris or myself pops in to buy the morning papers for Well House Manor (no standard order - we tailor to our guests) and I'm impressed by the cheerfulness of the team, their willingness to help (and to joke at an unreasonably early hour in the morning!). I've also been impressed by Bruce's tireless involvement in the Rotary.

So, thank you Bruce, Maid Marion, Superman and the St Trinian's pupil for giving me a smile this morning - and for being such a good neighbourhood store and garage.


Spa Road Garage (a Spar store) is open 7 days a week from 06:00 to 22:00 - just two doors up from us - selling groceries, papers, fuel and much more. They're so good that we don't even try to complete with those little things our visitors might need - we know they'll get a warm welcome at Spa Road Garage, Melksham from Bruce and his team.

Update - 17th November. Bruce and his team raised £505.05 for Children in Need - Congratulations and thanks to everyone at Spa Road Garage.
