It’s over! (well nearly…)
It's over! (well nearly...) Apologies for the delay since the last newsletter but we’ve been busy ensuring our salon is safe and ready for the (eagerly awaited) reopening on the Saturday 4th July. I certainly had no idea when I wrote my first ramblings on Day 2 (24th March, some 14 [...]

Day 24 and our ‘Great Leader’ (well, his representative actually) has told us that we are looking at another three weeks of lockdown. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say that I’d rather wait until we are confident we’ve broken the back of this crisis before we resume [...]
