Thank you all SO MUCH for the ridiculous amount of love, gifts, phone calls, texts, private messages, online support...it is humbling.
So many emotions!!! So very happy to have had such an adventure! So sad at the adventure ending. Be happy for us! This is a good thing.
You'll see a flurry of activity in the shop over the next month, while we pack down, deep clean, donate frozen bits and pieces, and prepare to hand back the keys mid March.
We'll be hosting some staff training there also to give our team the most up to date skills in CVs, job application and interview skills, to help them in their next adventure. Thanks to Dallas at Empower HR Solutions for the training. And for being my invisible leading lady over the past few years, from cradle to grave.
So don't get too excited if you see the lights on, but please feel free to stick your head in the door for a quick chat and a hug. Miss you all so much.
I'm so excited to see what's next for little 935 Centre Rd!!! It's been my main home for the best part of 4 years. There'll be a lump in my throat for sure when I see new signage go up, I think it will definitely be a bitter-sweet day. But I am still a local, and will for sure be supporting a new business in the hood. lollollol
I'm spending the next few months catching up with my kids, making some delicious elaborate dinners, getting my eldest enough driving experience to drive a freaking AMBULANCE by November 😱, getting plenty of sleep, lots of kayaking, lunches with friends, visits with family, refilling my bucket.
Then I'm spending winter working a few different 4 week contracts on cattle and sheep stations in FNQ, Darwin and remote WA, filling in while the permanent cooks are on annual leave. Do you think 4 weeks is enough time to get stockhands and shearers addicted to my chicken soup?!?! I'll let you all know 😉
Love to you all. Hope you are all coping without chips and roasts. I made a roast dinner at home the other night, and poor Ash and I had NO IDEA how to make less gravy. For 6 as opposed to 60. 🙄😬
Tonight there's enough gluten free lasagne for 40 people. 😮💨
