Where to begin?
It's been over 10 months since my last blog post which is absolutely wild.
Month after month there's been so much that i've wanted to share, updates on brands, new arrivals, what's to come in the future, what's been going on in general & somehow the time has just slipped by.
As most of you know, i unfortunately lost my lovely Dad earlier this year on Easter Sunday, so time has more so than ever, felt like a blur.. it's such a strange thing to navigate, everything can feel incredibly overwhelming & some days i sink, some days i swim.
One thing that i know for sure though is that i'm very, VERY lucky to have the people around me that i do.. my family, my husband, my friends & my wonderful customers.
Running a business is not easy, it can actually be quite soul destroying at times.. but all of you make it worth it, every 'oh i love this!', 'your shop is gorgeous!', 'i want everything!' literally makes our day & keeps us going.
I will never forget or take for granted the kindness & support that i've been shown both personally & professionally.
As much as it can drive me crackers, i know i'm fortunate to have this little space.. sitting back & taking in the constant evolution of it makes me feel quite proud, proud of my team, proud of the brands & products that we take time & care choosing, proud of our ethos & efforts towards sustainability, proud at how loved & enjoyed it is by you guys & proud to be a part of Cleethorpes.
Going forward, i'm going to do my best to keep you all up to date & along side my usual ramblings, i'm going to use each blog post to highlight a brand & what we love most about them.. so make sure to look out for the next one!
Lots of love,
Lucy x
