✈️ Goodbye Em! 🖊️
This week we say goodbye to Em after three brilliant years at The Castle as she heads off travelling... or so she says.
The truth is she's been recruited by the International Bureau of Stationery Security as their newest Undercover Pen Inspector. After years of accidentally taking our pens home in her hair, they decided there wasn't anyone more qualified to track down missing biros across the globe. Airports, cafés, hotels... no pen is safe.
On the bright side, we're all looking forward to having pens in the pub again... although we're not sure what our regulars are going to call her now that "Pen Head" has officially gone international. 😂
On a serious note, Em, thank you for everything you've brought to The Castle over the last three years. Your hard work, your friendship, and all the laughs have made you such a big part of the team, and you'll be missed more than you know.
Have the most incredible time travelling, make memories that'll last a lifetime, and don't be a stranger. We'll always have a place for you (and maybe a spare pen or two!)
