Winds of change

Hi

The storm is still not over but we can feel winds of change blowing now. This week started off with a bang! We had a full house on Monday and the restaurant was booked out till Thursday.It was a little taster of the great old times the business has seen here. But the weekend fell like a pack of cards. The wild and exotic festival was a success. We had fun creating the wonderful dishes and the local press backed us up with great coverage. Thank you to Tom Betts and the editorial team at Kent on Sunday. Should we keep selling a premium and expensive product in the current climate ? Will cutting into profits by reducing prices ensure volumes? I am always looking to find answers to these questions.My beloved Margate had a carnival today. I wonder if the town needs these events? Does it really help local businesses by bringing the right people into the town? Or do we need more serious events directed more towards families and a more mature audience? Two things seemed to have done bumper sales today...balloons and endless pints of beer in plastic tumblers.

  1. In every word I found you:))
    And because it is the only page what you are taking care,and pamper,I`ll take the chance to tell you that im really happy to belong to our little ,but steadily growing family,to tell you that the ultimate boss and friend are you as well.I always wanted to live up for your expectation,and in that way,I got to know myself better,I riched things,what I never tought I would,I managed things what I never tought I could do.All because you belived in me,you made me think that everything is possible,you just have to want it,and focuse on it,you made me feel special,talented.And I still got a long way to go,new things to get to know,but now I wait for them with the excitment for the challange,and not with the fear from the unknown.All thanks to You.And the most interesting thing is that you didnt realised what have you done:)You were just standing by my side on the way of changes:))
