One month to go -12th April

Keeping everything crossed that non essential retail will be open on the 12th April. I don't know about you but I'm so looking forward to re-opening the shop and seeing customers. This latest lock down has been tough on everyone.

Our youngest son has only been back to school a few days and his mood has improved, he is much more talkative and I think he is pleased to be back at school (he may say otherwise) Its not good for teenagers not being able to socialize. Our eldest son has still not been to university but we are hoping for some news after Easter.

Talking of teenagers not being able to socialize, its not good for me either. Those who have met me know I like a good chat. I have customers who quite often call in for a catch up or just to say hello. I love that they can do this with me. Having been open for almost 20 years, many of my customers have seen my children grow up and will call in to ask how they are getting on. Some of my customers live on their own and will call in for a bit of company. I don't mind this one bit. I have missed this enormously. I'm hoping by the time we are able to open, I will have had the first vaccination. I know many of my customers will have already had the first vaccination and will be keen to meet their family and friends. Things won't be normal for sometime, but getting out and shopping will be a step in the right direction.

Until the 12th of April, stay safe and I can't wait to catch up with you all.
