Toddy Shop

We have a toddy shop near our ancestral property. It’s been there from the time of my great grand father..
Today, I drove there to see the toddy shop. But there was no one there. We now the people there very well.  If we want toddy, we can freely tell them and they will deliver some for us. They even make it with less alcohol content.
