One of my earliest memories is playing "shops" with my granddad when I was 5 years old. After 1 school at 15, I worked in a fruit shop, but I had no 2 of how to run my own shop back then.
Several years later, I got married. My husband Eric and I heard about a shop for sale in the nearby village. We had a look and decided to have a shop of our own. That was January 1973. Shopkeeping was 3 to us, so we often didn't know what the 4 were asking for. But we soon learned.
We can tell by the weather how 5 the shop is going to be. On wet days there are very few people around, and when it's 6 people want bread and milk, as they're worried about being snowed in. When it's hot, everyone buys cold drinks and ice cream.
More people shop online nowadays, but they still come here for things 7 from their order. I've kept up with technology and have a card reader, but the shop itself hasn't changed much.
Now, as I'm getting older, it's open from 7 a. m. to 6 p. m. on weekdays 8 closing at 8: 30 p. m. However, I keep it open until 2 p. m. at weekends.
Eric passed away 16 years ago, but I am 9 getting rid of (处理掉) the shop. I love it all—talking to the customers and getting 10 they want. There are customers who come in two or three times a day, and we see several generations of families. Customers often tell me their 11 and I offer advice if I can.

I also 13 a book about my memories in the shop. It's called Just Ask Jenny, as I'm always the first port of call when anyone wants to know 14 .
This shop has been my life. I never 15 I'd still be here after 50 years, but I love it and the people. It's what keeps me going, and I've got no plan of retiring (退休).
