Wowee… 3 years!
September 2023.
The rumour had spread… the locksmith was at the pub. 😳
Mum and Dad were overseas, and to say it was stressful was an understatement. They flew home, and we all met at Mum and Dad’s for pizza and to work out what the hell we were going to do.
We all knew one thing - doing nothing wasn’t an option.
The pub was pretty tired and needed a LOT of work. So, we committed to all jumping in and giving it the love it needed. 🫣
It was daunting and exciting all at the same time. There was a lot to do, but we were determined to get the old girl back on her feet.❤️
Cleaning, painting, scrubbing, fixing.
Skip after skip after skip.
But the really special part was the people.🥰
Mates turned up to help. Family was there day after day. Trades postponed jobs to help us. People popped in to wish us luck and offer help wherever they could.
We were stressed, exhausted and there were definitely some days where we wondered what we’d taken on.
This little town had our backs. People helped in whatever way they could, and we’ll never forget it.❤️
Three years on, we’re still pretty bloody proud of what we all managed to do.🥳
And very, very grateful. ❤️
Cheers to 3 years back at The Stump. 🍻
