💔 PLEASE HELP LADY PENELOPE 🐾

A beautiful puppy who is part of the Escape to Picton & Hop On Hop Off W**e Tours family is fighting for her life after a devastating accident.

Sadly, her brother Titan has already died. 💔

Lady Penelope survived but needs urgent surgery and ongoing veterinary treatment.

We are trying to raise $15,000 to help save her.

🙏 If you can donate, even a small amount, please do.

🙏 If you can't donate, PLEASE SHARE.

We need to reach as many people as possible to give Lady Penelope the chance to come home.

🌈 Run free, Titan. ❤️

🐾 Please help us save Lady Penelope.

Hiya folks! 🍽️✨

Just a heads up — my final day in the restaurant will be April 26th, as I hang up the chef’s hat and move into an exciting new chapter!

It’s been an amazing season, and I’ve absolutely loved seeing so many of you come through and share great food and good times with us.

We’re open Wednesday to Sunday, 5pm–9pm at Escape To Picton Boutique Hotel — so if you’ve been meaning to visit (or come back for one more meal!), now’s the time. I’d LOVE to see you before I finish up!

After that, I’ll be putting my energy into my Hop on Hop off W**e, B**r, Food & Wonders Tours - New Zealand 🍷🍺🌿 — plus spending more time growing my dog sanctuary 🐾

Come down, say hi, and let’s make these last few weeks count!

See you soon 💛
