16th October 2025 - Notice of possible future closures

A little message from Gemma

Please see a note from Gemma below.

Also - please note due to below I am closing today, Thursday 16th October at 3.30 pm.

Hi everyone

I wanted to kindly ask that if you plan to come to the shop on a Thursday or Friday for the next few weeks - please call the shop first as I may not be in, may need to close early, and if I am here I may need a bit of help to help you. Saturday’s will not be affected as we have more staff available.

Why?

I thought I will explain myself as to why and for those of you who know me well - you know how clumsy I am. On Saturday 11th October I had a very nasty fall at home and have caused a lot of damage to my leg - if you like gory pictures I have them. As a result, the injury will take a long time to repair and we are not sure yet as to rehabilitation. I am trying to get on as normal and do not want to have to close the shop so as determined that as much as my leg will let me I will be in the shop.

I promise - if I need to close early on a Thursday or Friday I will send an email out, post it on Facebook and Instagram as soon as I can to reduce as much inconvenience as I can.

But just in case call the shop first as I would hate for you to have a wasted journey.

As a note today - I am closing today at 3.30 pm but I intend all being as well as I can to be back in tomorrow Friday 17th from 10 am - 4 pm.

On the plus side - I can highly recommend the React Right Program we offer for First Aid as both myself and my partner are trained and were able to deal with the situation using our training before the Ambulance arrived. (Sorry for the little bit of marketing but it really did help).

Many thanks in advance for your understanding and sorry again.

Gemma
