This is one of the amazing small businesses that makes the Gawler community a place we love.
Make sure you pop in and say Hi 👋 to the team, grab a great coffee, browse the wonderful items they have in the Cafe shop, oh and some flowers for someone special! 💐
Recap, last 12 months. This one's a bit of a "grizzletude" post... A grizzle with some gratitude. Not our normal style, but today feels a bit different.
March 2025... The ceiling of our shop fell in. Literally, a 10kg piece of plaster that missed Emma by moments. 😧
A wet winter and spring exposed our leaky roof (probably why the ceiling fell) with some spots where water cascades down the interior wall. 😡 Shout-out absent landlords who breach contracts willfully and their local agents who allow it.
In December, 3 break-ins that cost us cash as well as a spend on increased security measures.🤬
4 surrounding business closures that obliterate the foot traffic we see daily (but it does open up car parking for our customers). 😭
This morning the Murray Street fire was about 80m from us, too close for comfort. The resultant road closure has cost us significantly compared to a normal trading day. 😞
Now our footpath to the south is closed for the foreseeable future, further limiting foot traffic. 🙃
And the crew getting the job done can only park out the front here, so we look closed to anyone that does venture down.
And then... I just slammed my finger in the toilet door! 😂
Sometimes we wonder what's next, or why we keep going. It's a slog some days.
Having said all that, we have amazing staff. They're always there for our business - and us - and are some of the best at what they do. ♥️
We also appreciate the calls and messages that have come our way today, it really does mean a lot to us. And we are super grateful for those that have ventured in for a chat, coffee or some flowers - that keeps our head above the water line on a day like this. Special thanks to those who grabbed a little more than their usual order... A bacon and egg roll on top of the coffee or an extra cookie or a small flower arrangement. We saw that and felt it. Amazing. 😍
Keep on kicking folks, see you soon.
