I announced on Facebook this week that Iβm going to be closing the cafe. Hereβs whyβ¦
This year has been a full on year for most people, yes? Me included. Iβve moved towns, had a baby, and amongst other things, opened a cafeβ¦ Which seemed like a good idea at the timeβ¦ I guess I was forgetting how much work is involved in such a venture, and then team that up with breastfeeding and running a little familyβ¦ health disaster waiting to happen?! I found out recently after an amazing live blood analysis with My Life Blood that Iβve got some remaining health issues from my typhoid a few years back, plus adrenal fatigue etc etcβ¦ So Iβve been trying to slow down and catch up with myself, but damn it, Iβve just been too busy!
As I was closing up the cafe last Sunday, the decision came out of the blue, without any more thought than, Iβm over this, I need to close the cafe! Tuesday night confirmed it. I had whatβs known as a TIA β transient ischaemic attack, or mini stroke β sounds cute, but it wasnβt! As someone that has grown up with the worst kind of hypochondriac mother, I tend to be much more of a βsuck it up and get on with itβ kinda person, rather than the βOh my god, I have a mosquito bite, Iβm dyingβ type. Now, Iβm not really sure how serious what happened on Tuesday is, but Iβm not willing to experiment with my health any longer to find out.
Some serious time off is needed for this raw food genius! Which will be good for you lot in the long run, too. Iβll still be doing Northey Street markets (4evaaaaaaa, I heart them so!) and Iβll soon go back to doing some classes here and there, and who knows what else? Iβm open to suggestions as to what to do with our cafe space now! We have some ideas, but welcome any new ones, and if people have ideas and need a space?? (Not willing to share my kitchen though. Everrrr).
So, thanks for coming peeps, itβs been lovely to host you! Iβll miss you, but wonβt miss working 5 days a week. That part sucks.
