Birthday cake!

What would a birthday be without a cake! Jo Songhurst used one of her many and various talents to decorate a very large cake this morning with our logo. As usual on a Saturday the shop was heaving with customers, but we managed to persuade Christine and Scarlet to leave the till and light the candle. Lots of customers were happy to have their photo taken too!

It's our birthday!

This weekend is the first anniversary of the opening of The Shop at Strood Green. We can't believe it! It has been such a busy year and we have all learned so much from it. The shop goes from strength to strength and now receives over 2000 visits a week from its customers. It is always buzzing. In the shop this weekend are complimentary shopping bags, balloons, chocolates, and our very own birthday cake!
Also this weekend we are proud to be featured in The Times - in the Weekend section we have featured as part of a walk in Surrey (as providing a good stopping point for afternoon tea!).
Many many thanks to all our loyal customers and volunteers for the support they have given the shop over the last twelve months.
