opened the door last
Monday and were
overwhelmed with
the number of
friends - new and
old – who popped in
to wish us well. Its

buzzing.
Cake, tea and
conversation has

have commented on
how beautiful they
think the shop looks

enjoy the friendly,
communal atmos-
phere. We hope to
welcome many more
new friends over the
coming weeks.
