Congratulations to Emma McFaul who received planning permission to convert the basement of the family home into the new Chip Ahoy. The work will begin soon, and hopefully will be open in time for the new tourist season. So yesterday was the last day of opening for the old van pictured above. Good luck with the new premises!
