Wow what has happened to the world since that last blog in sunny Italy????? I hope you are all well and have hopefully stayed safe in all this madness.
When we went into lock down, like you, I thought OMG how are we going to get through this financially? Obviously, all my bookings were cancelled and rightly so. My partner had to shut down his shop so it really was a big worry. Then a good friend who also runs a Tea Party business said about doing Afternoon Tea in a box, no crockery, no parties just a lovely meal in a box.
Well I couldn’t believe what happened next. Due to everyone missing their parents so much, people wanted to treat their loved ones. I was inundated, so I apologise if you had to wait for replies from me. It was great to be able to still offer a service that would feed my family but I won’t lie… delivering to people on their own in care homes that resembled the Mary Celeste laid heavy on my heart and there were a lot of tears.
On the positive side, I was making their day and they knew their kids loved them and were missing them.
I am still doing the boxes but hoping to return to the parties and setting out my beautiful crockery as soon as I can. In the meantime, stay safe and look after yourselves and thank you all for your support at this surreal time.
