The community of Diss has a reason to celebrate as a much-loved shop is planning to reopen in the town.

Our Slice of Country Life, owned by Helen Beeching, is opening in a new location this July after year-long break.

The shop sells craft items, decorations and artwork - Miss Beeching makes much of the stock herself and is known for her creative cushions and lampshades.

Miss Beeching said: "Last year I was devastated when I had to close the shop. Reopening is the right thing to do, it's my happy place and I love what I do."

"I have built up a group of amazing and loyal customers and I'm sure they will all support me in this new venture."

The location will also have a 'farm shop twist', stocking local produce such as jams, marmalades and oils. There will also be baked goods such as brownies available.
