Transcript
00:00I'm loving it, absolutely. It's everything and more that I wanted. It's a good space to display
00:08all the vintage and antique stuff. I love the socialness of all the people coming in for a cup
00:13of teas. Art classes, they've grown out of the last year, so I do a lot of art and craft workshops.
00:21This month we're starting music evenings where we're looking at minor music, so it's really
00:26across the board something for everybody and growing all the time, so couldn't ask for more.
00:33The amount of people who I hear, I overhear them eavesdropping and they're going, oh I love this
00:38place, oh this is a little Aladdin's cave. It's the best feedback. I get people come in a few times
00:44a week for a cuppa, so again that's good feedback that they want to come more than once in a week.
00:50I've just done all the outside area, so we've got a new garden sitting space, so again some people
00:56last week came three days and sat out there and had a cuppa while on a dog walk because we're dog
01:01friendly. So yeah, really positive and lots of repeat supportive custom. The art side is sort of
01:09just within me bursting out. I started off with a degree in fine art and a few people have seen my
01:16work and asked if I was going to teach some bits and bobs and that's gone from a bit of hesitation to
01:22doing one to two classes to now we have at least two to three a month here and again I get loads of
01:28repeat customers and customers for that and people coming back and yeah, so again that's the best
01:34compliment that people come back, people bring people with them which again is the best compliment
01:39they want to share. Music, again I have a really broad music history and I think growing up in Wales I miss
01:48the singing here that there's not enough singing social nights so that's what next week is going to
01:54be is singing and chatting and yeah just socialising and coming together and sharing some space and some
02:02joy. People who didn't know each other before now meet here because they've already met here so they
02:07arranged to meet here now or people just sit and chat together. There's no everyone sitting different
02:14table it's a really community space the sort of kitchen area is can get sort of eight people sitting
02:21around a four person table because everyone wants to join in and have social discussions and talk about
02:27everything so I love that it's the best bit about it that wasn't planned. Thank you to the whole community
02:32for like continued support all my different ideas that would return custom for cuppers just thank you for
02:40everyone's taking it to the hearts
