❤️ Happy Heavenly 84th Birthday Dad ❤️

I hope you’re celebrating up there. 🎂❤️

People are always asking me how I’m doing. Dad, I’m doing okay. I really am. But I miss you constantly. There honestly isn’t an hour that goes by when I don’t have a thought of you.

I have a little robin that visits our garden every day, and I truly believe it’s you coming to check on me. ❤️🐦

Yesterday, while I was walking Bella, a little white feather landed right in front of me. I like to think that was another little sign from you, reminding me that you’re still around. 🤍

I feel you around me all the time, and I know you’re definitely keeping an eye on me and making sure I’m doing okay in the shop. I really hope I am, Dad, and I hope I’m still making you proud. That means more to me than you’ll ever know.

Everyone says time is a healer. Maybe that’s true. Maybe it doesn’t actually heal, maybe we just learn to live with the loss and life becomes different.

I would give anything to have you here, even just for a few more minutes.

I love you so much, Dad.

Miss you every single day. ❤️

Forever your Mads

🍄🚨 THE MUSHROOM DEBATE NOBODY ASKED FOR! 🚨🍄

Okay Shaders… we need answers because this has genuinely divided us! 😂

WHO PEELS THEIR MUSHROOMS?! 👀

Yes… PEELS them. As in takes the skin off. 🍄🔪😂

Are you one of these people?

🍄 YES – I ALWAYS PEEL THEM!
🍄 NO – WHAT ON EARTH?! I JUST WASH THEM!
🍄 I DON’T WASH OR PEEL THEM – JUST STRAIGHT IN THE PAN! 😂
🍄 I’M STAYING OUT OF THIS ONE… 👀

👇 BE HONEST… DO YOU PEEL YOUR MUSHROOMS?! 👇

And please… no mushroom shaming in the comments! 😂🍄

🚨 VINYL QUEEN NAT IS GOING OUT OF OFFICE! 🚨

Just a little reminder that our very own Vinyl Queen Nat 👑 is heading in for shoulder surgery tomorrow! 🏥💉

Which unfortunately means the vinyl machine is about to get a LOT more peace and quiet… and there will be NO VINYL ORDERS for the foreseeable future! 😂

Apparently shoulders are quite important for doing things like cutting, pressing, weeding and generally being a vinyl superhero. Who knew?! 🤣

So for now, the vinyl queen is officially hanging up her weeding tool 🫣 and concentrating on getting herself fixed and back to full strength. 💪

❤️ We’ll keep you all updated with Nat’s recovery and will let you know as soon as we’re able to start taking vinyl orders again.

Thank you all for your patience, understanding and lovely messages. 🥰

Now… everyone say a little prayer for Nat, her shoulder AND anyone brave enough to attempt to do a little vinyl while she’s recovering 🙈😂👑

VINYL QUEEN OUT. 👑🎀

✌

🌞 IMPORTANT UPDATE 🌞

Due to the extreme heat conditions, we will be CLOSING AT 2PM TODAY to keep our customers and team safe. ❤️

Don’t worry… Trina has escaped the day without any strap marks this time! 😂🙌 She’s officially survived! 🤣

We’ll be back open TOMORROW FROM 9AM as normal.

Please stay safe and take care in this weather! 💕
