petrol once again

Our local shop was going to have to close down as it didn't have enough money to keep going, had no petrol left in the tanks, and no banks willing to lend them any more money. But the community came to the rescue thanks to a crowdfunding site called Ulule. We all put money in and would get back a gift voucher to use in the shop - pretty good deal! There was a little ceremony a few nights back to say they'd made the 10,000 euros they needed and that the petrol tanks would be filled up again on the 26th! Great news :) Just hope people keep shopping there so they stay open!
