Penally hosted a tea party at the New Overlander last Thursday for David and Will Shepherd. David ran the Village Shop for 27 years, assisted by his son Will.

David’s wife Sue also worked in the shop until she passed away in November 2017.

David retired before Christmas and villagers were keen to express their thanks.

Fifty turned out for the tea and many more gave donations to enable David and Will to purchase something for their new home.
