I was shocked and saddened at the closure of Audrey’s Chocolate shop in Brighton.

I have been a regular customer for many years. Not only are the chocolates delicious, but the staff have become friends over the years.

I normally pop in whenever there is a celebration in the family – birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and Easter, of course.

I would just like to say thank you to Lin and Mary who worked there, for always serving customers with a smile, and being so friendly. I shall miss them very much.

It will not be the same having to go to the Hove shop for chocolates.
