Weekly Round Up ☀️
Instagram perfect life we are not this week. Bit of a raw, honest review. I debated how honest to be. But this is it…
The first three weeks of May financially were a bit of cold, wet disaster. We needed something special.
And wow didn’t half term deliver. But such volumes come at a cost and I had to dig very deep to get through it as did my team. The irony of this is not lost on me. We desperately needed it to be busy. And thankfully it was. But it didn’t come easy.
The sunshine arrived, schools were on holiday, we had a huge buffet, staff were off, and our two new units took off in ways we never expected. It was magical. It was exciting.
It was relentless.
I even had to close the café at Little Winnick before I’d properly announced it had reopened. We’ll be back open soon — I just need a day off and a chance to catch up. You know what, I am proud I quickly made that decision to ease the pressure on us.
But amongst the chaos, something unexpected happened.
The imposter syndrome disappeared and I became so bloody proud of myself and my team. Wow did we achieve.
Because when the pressure was on, our team was incredible. They stepped up, looked after each other and absolutely nailed it.
I’m exhausted. I’m grateful. And I’m incredibly proud of what we’re building.
Thank you for keeping us so busy. ❤️
