Our first week in the shop!

Wow, it's been a busy day in the market and at the shop! Well done Emily and Georgia for working your socks off, despite all the rubble outside the shop due to gas works!

Thank you to the consciencious customer who alerted us to the smell of gas on Thursday afternoon! That's the lovely Greenwich community spirit in action- which averted disaster! Georgia and I have been so busy these last two weeks we probably would never have noticed!
In fact earlier that day I was talking about lighting candles in the shop for Christmas!!

On Thursday night I was up until 5am letting Transco into the shop every hour checking the gas levels while watching them drill holes outside the shop and all along Creek Road. The gas problem runs the breadth of Creek Road apparently. Unfortunately, they had to break into the neighbouring shops and businesses to release the gas build up along the road. Lights were flashing, alarms were going off, what a palava! (excuse the pun..)

But it was all for a good cause! Greenwich didn't blow up that night and I ended up making endless cups of tea for lots of men in uniform!
It could have been worse!
