Wow…..6 months of the hardest work I have ever done and it’s all over in a flash. I’ve never felt so broken in my life but it was all so worth it. My hair isn’t even grey anymore, it’s full on white! But I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved and never imagined 5 months of prep and baking wouldn’t be enough! I panicked for a long time that people wouldn’t want to buy what we’d worked so hard to produce but have been blown away with the response. We’ve met the most wonderful traders to share the experience with and I’ve been honoured to feel part of the little community (I’ve tagged just a few so please check them out and support our small businesses). We’ve also been so overwhelmed with the support from everyone especially my wonderful friends Ellie Jane and Amy Lilly for the endless nights of packing biscuits, Mike Smith for helping me on the stall and being the best salesman, my lovely mum and sister for dropping everything so I could go for a wee every now and again, my amazing and talented husband for baking (that wasn’t a typo, I did say baking! 🤣) those damn biscuits every day as we couldn’t keep up with the demand and being just the best partner in crime…..and most of all to my selfless SIL Hayley Cullen……thank you just doesn’t cut it for the time she gave up to help me on the stall. We’ve had the best laughs and I wouldn’t have wanted to share it with anyone else. You are an absolute legend 🥰
And to everyone else who have given us their kind words and well wishes, people have just been so supportive and we’re so very grateful. Now to prepare for next year if we’re lucky enough to get to do it all over again! 😰🎄🐶
