What an absolutely incredible day at Bournemouth Bug Show today!
First things first, a massive thank you to Andy for organising another fantastic event. The whole day ran brilliantly, and the petting zoo outside was such a lovely touch – it was great seeing so many people enjoying it.
To every single customer who stopped by our table, whether you bought something, had a chat, asked questions, or just came over to say hello – thank you. Events like these simply wouldn't exist without your support, and we genuinely appreciate every one of you.
Now, if you'll excuse me, my feet have officially handed in their resignation, my back is negotiating a severance package, and the rest of my body is requesting to be powered down for approximately the next 10 hours. Completely worth it, but I am absolutely done in!
A huge thank you to my wonderful team.
To Scott – my slightly unhinged husband, who somehow continues to turn up, help carry half a shop around the country, tolerate my stress levels, and generally be my rock whenever I need him. I genuinely couldn't do any of this without you. You're an absolute legend, even if I don't tell you often enough.
To Tom – thank you, as always, for working the table again and helping everything run smoothly. We really do appreciate all the support.
And finally, a massive thank you to Helen and Josh. You were both brilliant today, and Helen deserves a special mention for being up at 9pm last night making packed lunches for all of us. As most of you know, I take my food very seriously, so anyone who feeds me automatically gets promoted to one of my favourite people. It's basically the quickest route to friendship.
Thank you to everyone who made today such a success. We met some wonderful people, had some fantastic conversations, and had an all-round brilliant day.
The shop is open tomorrow from 9am - 4pm, website will be back online approx 2pm.
Now, if anyone needs me, I'll be unconscious until further notice.Hope everyone got home safely, and we'll see you all at the next one! 🕷️❤️
