SONIA'S ..END OF AN ERA..

[HIGH PIT WILMA]

Hi Folks!..it is sad to know that Sonia's at Bedlington Station will be closing for good in a couple of weeks time. Liz,the owner,and Sharon,her shop assisstant,have managed the shop admirably since the loss Marcus,Liz's Husband...and  nothing has ever been a problem to them.They  have always been pleasant and a pleasure to shop with.There is nowhere else as local to fulfil our d.i.y. needs,and Sonia's as a name will be sorely missed.However,I wish both Liz and Sharon all the best for their future.TWO REET CANNY LASSES!! CHEERS BILL.

Shame on me!!..I forgot to give credit to Cathy,and also Rebecca,[Liz's Daughter]..two reet canny lasses as weel..Many thanks for providing the people of Bedlington the best service for all round Household and D.I.Y.tools and Stationery. I wish Rebecca all the best for her future..[currently at UNI.]

I have to admit @HIGH PIT WILMA that if anyone had of asked be about Sonia's I wouldn't of had a clue. I had to Google street view it on Clayton Street -

Hi Alan,this excellent little shop has been there for I don't know hoo lang noo..but it is ganna be a big miss..there is aalwis a steady stream of customers aal day lang!!It is like what we used ti say aboot Matty Robinsons..in the 1960's.."if ye ask for a pink elephant they will get one for ye ..if they hevn't aalriddy got one in stock!!"

The shop is like the TARDIS!!..it is full of every known item ye might need in everyday life!..and the Owner,Liz,and her assistant Sharon,are really friendly and helpful.

Aa canna praise Liz enough for carrying on the business..a mammoth task...after losing her husband Marcus,who also was a great guy.R.I.P. Marcus.
