We managed to sneak one last Hamburg experience before heading home today. Specifically a wander around the Schanze area. Part hipster cool, part Hamburg posh it's still a great area for exploring the various independent shops sometimes offering quite quirky wares (as well as the delightful surprise of Vegan currywurst). It was also a great… Continue reading Last minute inspiration
Our last lazy day in the House of Relaxation. Thoughts are starting to creep in though of all the things I need to do to get ready to open the shop on 31st July. Yes, 31st. Less than 2 weeks away. What to do. What to do. Sharing this with our friends we ended up… Continue reading Trust your Heart
We have moved today from one amazing city to another. My favourite city in fact. Hamburg. This city has everything. Great cafes and bars, a beautiful lake spotted with places to buy delicious German food and Alsterwasser (Hamburg's version of Shandy), striking docks and beach clubs. Yes beach clubs, with sand, and an incredibly chilled… Continue reading So close
Am sure to those of you following this story that taking time out just before starting a shop seems a bit odd but I am putting it down to the Universe's quirky sense of timing. Because I am in Berlin. A place I've wanted to visit for a very long time and after a number… Continue reading And relax
Today was decision time. Although you could already guess what the decision was going to be. No spoiler alert needed here. Yes, of course it was yes. Could it have ever been anything else? We still did our due diligence, working it out the best we could. Costs, income, decoration, projections, requirements, risks... Not entirely… Continue reading But of course
The Aquarian and I took a walk to Queen's Parade in Willesden Green early this afternoon so he could take a look at the space. That look turned out to be more of a sneak peak as it was too last minute to arrange a viewing. Peering through the windows though was enough for him… Continue reading Saturday afternoon stroll
I received a call this morning from the Project Co-ordinator at Queen's Parade. And it's a Yes! The universe is opening the door and can see the Light shining through. Wow. I mean. Wow. It's happening. The what if is becoming a when. Our collective could soon have a home. But before we make a… Continue reading The door is open…
What shall I write about? Oh yes, maybe about our first viewing of a shop space! 😊 Today's space was a fantastic project in North London for longer term pop-up shops. As the Project Co-ordinator explained it in more detail to us I saw how great a fit it was as it was more than… Continue reading The View
Well today has more than made up for the domestic shenanigans of Monday. I have powered through a number of tasks that I have been dithering about for a few weeks. Thanks to the Oracle reading, blocked energy has been made known and transmuted and progress has been released! No doubt the energy of the… Continue reading Watch this space…
A whole afternoon of wedding planning today so no time or capacity for planning of any other kind. Luckily my Mum has been on the case in her own unique way. I mentioned in an earlier post how grateful I am for the support around me. Connections old and new including my family. And you've… Continue reading Mother’s invention
