Each week Freda visits Doris to give her Holy Communion and to have a chat afterwards. Today we asked Doris to tell us a bit about her life here in Lymington. She first arrived here with her husband Ernie when he was posted to Beaulieu with his squadron in 1945. After the war they went into partnership with Robinsons in a shop where Barclays Bank is now, selling confectionery and tobacco. Later the partners decided to split up, so Doris and Ernie sold sweets and chocolate at no.97 High Street until the business was sold, (it is now Truffles). Doris is now widowed, 94 years old, still cheerfully looking after herself, and welcoming her grandchildren and all the other visitors who call to see her or do shopping for her.
