What an amazing birthday we've had! Thanks so much to everyone who came along to support!
Only one dark cloud over the day, one of our lovely customers had her bag stolen :( She was sitting at the coffee table by the entrance door. If anyone saw anything/anyone suspicious please let us know, or if you have any photos/videos of that area please forward them onto us. Many thanks
