My lovely friend Lou was a massive help when it came to closing down the shop. She came in every few days arms with sweet treats and emotional support to get me through even the worst days.
She even came in when she felt poorly and run down as she didn’t want to let me down!
I wanted to do something special for her as a big thank you.
One of her fondest memories as a child was visiting her grandmas on a Sunday for tea.
It always consisted of tinned salmon sandwiches followed by the most delicious and moist Mars Bar cake and she hadn’t had one since she’d lost her grandma some years ago.
The least I could do for her was try to recreate her grandma’s recipe.
She came round last Thursday for tea and chat and to put the world to rights…… she managed to scoff down 2 large pieces so I’m guessing it was a hit.
Big thank you Lou! You really are one in a million x
