Are We There Yet?

How about now?  Now?

Well, the good news is:    It won't be long! 

And now that the sign is up it feels "official" somehow (and slightly terrifying.)

Dan assisting Dave from The Drawing Board - that thing is HUGE!

There have been the usual setbacks in the last few weeks - slow moving stainless equipment, wrong oven, wrong cabinet dimensions, "forgotten" counter tops, a leaky hood, a too tall tea bar -  BUT we are moving forward towards our Softly, Softly Opening in just a few weeks.

The Great Wall of T ea

The sexy fireplace!

Wrangling the fridge.




A veritable hive of strapping lads.

In she goes (just)


The stainless stuff finally arrives.

You should see what else they fitted in there!


My Adored Bakers and Mavens are patiently waiting in the wings, ready to lavish their attention on you the second the door opens.  And if some of you like to live dangerously we'll be needing a few  Crash Test Customers  to practice on the week of August 6th. Click on the orange link to send me an email and we'll see about signing you up for some free tea and fabulous baked goodies.  No need for helmets - we'll be gentle.

Bob and Kevin, painters extraordinaires.  I'll miss you chaps!
