Those traybakes you all loved at The Lane!

Baked by the amazing Nibble & Peck and now available from Flavour First Vending Machine in Donaghadee!

New bake box coming TOMORROW at the vending machine🥳
We’ve sold out 2 times over everyday so we have decided to add a second bake box for all you lovely sweet treat lovers😍
And we are even getting a few more lockers also, so instead of 12 we will have 16 from tomorrow onwards😍😍

HELLO 👋

Some days it feels like forever and other days I can picture myself standing behind our wee counter serving you all.

How are you all doing?

We are still in New Zealand.

Here’s a wee photo dump of what life has looked like recently. Lots of day trips, view points, lots of coffee, home schooling and trips to the library.

Lots of time for reflection.

Sending our love to you all and missing our regular catchups with our wee community.

Hi Everyone

I’ve gone quiet as our family adjust to a 13 hour time difference.

Yes that’s right we have taken an opportunity to fly our family across the world, to see through the winter months, and in all honesty - to find peace in my soul again.

When The Lane was forced to close I became unemployed for the 1st time in 18 years! I lost myself, my spark and all my trust in the system that we by into every day. I needed a new focus so it made sense taking the opportunity to come to our favourite place - South Land New Zealand 🇳🇿

We are being well looked after and the sun is shining.

When walking in Te Anau yesterday I seen this sign ‘The Lane’

No matter where I am in the world The Lane will always be a big part of our life and I look forward to opening our doors one day 🙌

You can follow along on our adventures on Tik Tok - Jess Green

I hope you are all keeping well and safe ❤️
