  I can't believe just how much the shopping 'village' has grown over the past 40=years!! When I was an apprentice butcher for Vic May at Russell Meats in the late 60's there were bare paddocks behind the shop!! Every week we had new customers who had just moved into the area. The shop always had a happy and relaxed atmosphere and the walls rang with laughter. Jokes were the main order of the day and somehow the work was done and everyone felt content. That all changed for me suddenly after being conscripted. I had the opportunity to return to the shop two years later, but decided to 'fly the coop'. No doubt there would be some of our customers who still live in the area and have fond shopping memories at Russell Meats.
