Subject: RE: BS: Sitting At The Kitchen Table
I have been away from this table for a few days, popped by this morning and found no one here!Shame as I have a lot to get off my mind so I will make the coffee and ramble on by myself.
Last weekend my daughter and son in law had just about settled into their new home, unpacking all done.We had planned a day in London looking at things for the nursery. Then they got a phone call that the business centre where they had a unit( he has a picture framing business and gallery) had had a serious fire in the early hours. 68 businesses just about lost everything.Davids unit was smoke and water damaged, to make things worse he has not been allowed back into the building to collect anything salvagable.The company who are the landlords have been very unhelpfull, no information or contact, to add insult to injury they cashed the rent cheque after the fire!
The good news is that we have found a new unit close by so Billy and friends are there this weekend building a new shop.My job to provide dinner when they get back.Hopefully they will be able to start up again soon and the customers will stay loyal.More good news the baby is due in 10 weeks and my daughter is feeling well despite all the worry of moving house and now the fire.Count our blessings!
