Google has placed my town in the short list for the best shopping street in Britain. How exciting is that? Google Street View Awards are a celebration of Britain's best streets, to be voted for in a nationwide poll.

In addition to the long list of great shops, we also have a varied selection of cafes, restaurants and pubs. Two sisters Plum and Vanilla run their cafe, Plum Vanilla, serving an interesting range of homemade food. What a great name for a great cafe!

It is wonderful that Narberth is at last getting the recognition that it deserves. I think it is one of the best towns in Pembrokeshire but some may say that I'm biased because I live here! We have a thriving live music scene, popular winter and summer carnivals and a food festival which is a foodies heaven! Narberth has real character, unlike many towns in Britain which, sadly, are failing and struggling to fight against out of town shopping centres. Let's hear it for independent shops and the High Streets of Britain!
Voting closes on 22nd May and the winners will be announced in June. Fingers crossed we win.
Place your vote here!
How great for your town to be nominated, and imagine what a celebration there would be if it won!! Lovely to see independant little towns getting such recognition xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny. I just hope the local council and newspaper get behind the nomination and help us to get some more votes.

Our ideas was more of a storage solution problem nowhere to put the quilt in the summer!
Glad to be of assistance!
