There are some BIG things to come.
But recently, it's been nothing but pain and stress.
I miss cooking for you all, but the feedback from pop ups is that you're all waiting for us to open to spend your money, which I get. I mean, I have been saying we'll be getting keys "next month" for almost a year now! 😂
I'd love to do a pop up, maybe May? Collab? Let me know.
It's been a rough start to the year, we were meant to have keys mid January, and I was optimistically hoping that we would be almost there with everything. Able to take bookings, releasing updated Collab dates, but here we are. Still waiting.
I still don't have a time for keys. I'm inundated with requests from people about how long it's going to be, what about dates for this and for that, how can we book, etc. Suppliers asking when I'm going to be ordering. Asking me questions I don't have answers for.
Emotionally I'm broken. This process hasn't been what I wanted it to be. I don't think it's been what any one of us has wanted it to be.
My savings are well and truly wiped out.
We're a month away from losing the house.
I've decided (unless something miraculous occurs) that I'm going to be taking a break from all social media for a month.
Mr Claridge (who has been fantastic through everything) has offered me a full month's work at The Wilderness and I want to immerse myself in cooking again and re light the fire that extinguished in me.
If you want to get in touch, please send me an email, I'll be still working behind the scenes. Or ping me a message on the works WhatsApp (more about that feature later!)
But yeah, for the moment, my brain needs a rest.
I am eternally grateful to every single one of you for your continued support and I am so excited that I will at some point be able to welcome you, alongside to the restaurant.
It's going to be special.
So for now. Enjoy a little sneak peak of things to come from an old friend of mine
More to follow, in time.
From us both, our love as always
